Hi - hope you can help

Basically, I’m trying to get a movie clip (called “scroll” and located on the \_root timeline) to jump to and stop on frames 1-40 depending on where a draggable slider is positioned. The slider goes from 0 - 140 on the y axis.

The code in the slider itself is as follows:

on (press) {  
startDrag("", false, 0, 0, 0, 140);  
dragging = true;  
}

on (release, releaseOutside) {  
stopDrag();  
dragging = false;  
}

and then

onClipEvent (load) {  
top = \_y;  
bottom = top + 140;  
left = \_x;  
right = \_x;  
}  
onClipEvent (load) {  
if (dragging == true) {  
gotoAndStop("\_root.scroll", (\_y-100));  
}  
}

on the level above. I’m realising this isn’t right as the slider makes no difference to the targeted MC.

Any advice??

Thanks
