Constrain x movement

1

first my actionscript still sux… so any help pls :wink:

i have this script attatched to the object i want to move with mouse…
only i want to constrain the x movement to another object in the same timeline… i’ve been able to find lots of stuff related to dragging, but how to apply constraints without drag function?

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
this._x = _root.xvalue=_root._xmouse;
}

2 

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
	if (this._x > max._x) {
		this._x = max._x;
	}
}

I think

yep cheers Vinc3 your a * … james

hmmm still no joy, what something like this?

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
this._x = _root.xvalue=_root._xmouse;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (this._x=_root.site.box) {
this._x = max._x;
}
}

I’m a what?

You can’t declare multiple onClipEvent (enterFrame) event handlers without overwriting them.

I’m not sure I understand what you’re trying to do. If you want to be able to drag your clip up to the position of another clip, you could do it like that:

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
	this._y = _root._ymouse ;
	this._x = Math.min (_root._xmouse, _root.site.box._x) ;
}

Is that what you’re trying to do?

I picked that up too, but I didn’t know it was a major prob…hehe

PS: Hello, Ilyas le G(r)eek :stuck_out_tongue:

‘’’ thanx both for explaining that you can’t declare multiple event handlers. ‘’’

… perhaps if i explain my objectives better than before…

i want to move one clip by the x (<->) movement of the mouse.
and constrain the movement of that clip, to the x (<->width) of another clip.

‘’’ silly of me not to make that clear in the first place,
tired, not even sure what i’m doing myself, but thanx guys ‘’’ James
