how do I make the clouds move backward with this scripts?

place this script in your maintimeline:

code:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------MovieClip.prototype.moveMe = function (begin, end, speed) {  
if (this.\_x \<= end) {  
this.\_x += speed  
} else {  
this.\_x = begin  
}  
}--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

now place this script in every cloud:

code:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------onClipEvent (load) {  
var begin = (0 - (this.\_width / 2))  
var end = (Stage.width + (this.\_width / 2))  
var speed = Math.round (((Math.random() \* 4) + 1))  
}  
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {  
this.moveMe (begin, end, speed)  
}

Thanx.

</div>

make speed a negative number and switch your begin and end (in the load event)

It has got to work:

```auto
MovieClip.prototype.moveMe = function (begin, end, speed) {
	if (this._x >= end) {
		this._x += speed
	} else {
		this._x = begin
	}
}
// then in every cloud:
onClipEvent (load) {
	var end = (0 - (this._width / 2))
	var begin = (Stage.width + (this._width / 2))
	var speed = -Math.round (((Math.random() * 4) + 1))
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
	this.moveMe (begin, end, speed)
}

```

Right now you have the cloud moving from left to right. I want the cloud to move from right to left.

Thanx.
