Hey,

this is prob a real simple answer but how do I stop one movieclip from going outside the boundry of another?

I’m guessing i need to assign maxHeight and minHeight according to the other movieclips dimensions.

What i have is on the main time line a movieclip load which i’m using as a spaceship in my game. But i dont want it to be able to go “off”" the screen so need to set a boundry.

I think i need to set a onClipEvent on the spacesip movie clip to assignthe max/min height.

Any help?
