hello,

ok in flash mx 2004 i am trying to setup an action script on frame one that will manipulate an object forward and back but stopping at a certain pixel so it doesnt keep going off the screen.

This is the code that i have and it moves the object but doesnt stop the object at the certain pixel.

the screen resolution is 550x400

stop();  
if (car.\_x \< 458){  
go.onPress = function(){  
car.\_x+=10;  
onEnterFrame = function(){  
car.\_x+=10;  
}  
}  
} else if(car.\_x == 458){  
go.onPress = function(){  
car.\_x+=0;  
onEnterFrame = function(){  
car.\_x+=0;  
}  
}  
}

if you can please let me know what i am doing wrong.

thanks

Albert
