hi everybody, this is my first post here, so plz be gentle. im a beginner at using flash mx actionscript with no previous programming experience.

im currently doing an animation where a movie clip moves from right to left using this code i found at the tutorials section:

onClipEvent(enterFrame) {  
speed = 2;  
this.\_x += speed;  
}

now what i want to do is have the move clip stop moving when the user puts the mouse over it, but i dont know how to do that, plz help. 🙂
