this regards the tutorial on “easing on mousae click” i can make it but i was wondering how i were to give it boundaries if i made it in a lrager set, but did not want it able to move around the entire frame, only in a designated area

you need something like this :):
```auto
// declaring object to store data
boundaries = {};
// right boundary
boundaries.r = 100;
// top boundary
boundaries.t = 0;
// left boundary
boundaries.l = 0;
// bottom boundary
boundaries.b = 100;
MovieClip.prototype.easeMC = function(x, y, easingFactor) {
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
tempX=this._x, tempY=this._y;
if (x>boundaries.l && y>boundaries.t && x0 || differenceY>0) {
this._x += differenceX/easingFactor;
this._y += differenceY/easingFactor;
} else {
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
} else {
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
};
};
/* usage */
onMouseDown = function () {
mymovieclip.easeMC(_xmouse, _ymouse, 25);
};
```
I was trying to make so that the mc moves as far as i can within the boundaries when the mouse is clicked outside of it, but there was a little bug i couldnt overcome ;(

was that for a box? or do i have to make the box a movie clip???i.e i want to draw a box, just a square oneand make it so the dot cannot move out of the box and so that it doesn’t respond to a click outside the box

```auto
// right boundary
boundaries.r = 100;
// top boundary
boundaries.t = 0;
// left boundary
boundaries.l = 0;
// bottom boundary
boundaries.b = 100;
```
this is where the dimensions/position of the ‘box’ go… 🙂

you don’t use the original code anymore.
just replace mymovieclip in this line of the code with the actual instance name of your movieclip. 😉
```auto
onMouseDown = function () {
**mymovieclip**.easeMC(_xmouse, _ymouse, 25);
};
```
