Here’s the code:

// [Action in Frame 1]  
stop();  
// [Action in Frame 24]  
stop();  
if (\_root.about.\_xmouse \< -1 || \_root.about.\_xmouse \< 96 || \_root.about.\_ymouse \< -1 || \_root.about.\_ymouse \< 50)  
{  
\_root.about.play(25);  
}  
else  
{  
play();  
} // end if  
// [Action in Frame 25]  
if (\_root.about.\_xmouse \< -1 || \_root.about.\_xmouse \< 96 || \_root.about.\_ymouse \< -1 | \_root.about.\_ymouse \< 50)  
{  
\_root.about.play(26);  
}  
else  
{  
gotoAndPlay(24);  
} // end if  
// [Action in Frame 37]  
gotoAndStop(1);

It looks to me like the boundaries being checked for the mouse co-ordinates for the if statements are offsetting each other( ie. \_xmouse \<-1 and \_xmouse\<96 ???). Am i interpreting this wrong??

I guess that what u want is:  
if (\_root.about.\_xmouse \< -1 || \_root.about.\_xmouse \> 96 || \_root.about.\_ymouse \< -1 || \_root.about.\_ymouse \>50)

Thats what I thought it should be but the code is exactly as I stated earlier and everything in this movie is working. Plz note that this is not my movie and saw the code in the movie when i was observing how they did it.
