hi,

I’ve been trying to ages to resolve this and finally registered to post for help.

I’m trying to publish the following as v8 player (which works fine for v6 - but I want to use v8 for the text formatting features):

```auto
 
 desty = (_parent.stageHeight-_parent.hmodifier)/2;
 posy = _parent.mc._y;
 vely = vely*_parent.bouncefactor+(desty-posy)/_parent.speedfactor;
 _parent.mc._y += Math.round(vely);
 trace(_parent.mc._y);

```

Thanks in advanced.

Cheers

Mike
