Any ideas on the below - if I move the b1 - button1 into a MC why this wont work? I’m not sure what I need to change… I’ve been trying everything I can think of :slight_smile:

thanks!

var currentPosition:Number = contentHold.content1._y;
var startFlag:Boolean = false;
menuSlide = function (input:MovieClip) {
    if (startFlag == false) {
        
        startFlag = true;
        
        var finalDestination:Number = input._y;
        var distanceMoved:Number = 0;
        var distanceToMove:Number = Math.abs(finalDestination-currentPosition);
        var finalSpeed:Number = .3;
        var currentSpeed:Number = 0;
        var dir:Number = 1;
        
        if (currentPosition<=finalDestination) {
            dir = -1;
        } else if (currentPosition>finalDestination) {
            dir = 1;
        }
        
        this.onEnterFrame = function() {
            currentSpeed = Math.round((distanceToMove-distanceMoved+1)*finalSpeed);
            distanceMoved += currentSpeed;
            contentHold._y += dir*currentSpeed;
            if (Math.abs(distanceMoved-distanceToMove)<=1) {
                contentHold._y = maskMovie._y-currentPosition+dir*distanceToMove;
                currentPosition = input._y;
                startFlag = false;
                delete this.onEnterFrame;
            }
        };
    }
};
b1.onRelease = function() {
    menuSlide(contentHold.content1);
};
b2.onRelease = function() {
    menuSlide(contentHold.content2);
};
b3.onRelease = function() {
    menuSlide(contentHold.content3);
};
b4.onRelease = function() {
    menuSlide(contentHold.content4);
};
b5.onRelease = function() {
    menuSlide(contentHold.content5);
};
b6.onRelease = function() {
    menuSlide(contentHold.content6);
};
