scrollUp\_mc and scrollDown\_mc are acting as buttons that control scroll\_mc and bar\_mc.  
The code works fine, but I need them to stop working if scoll\_mc.y is less than 136 or more than 2,189. any suggestions?

scrollUp\_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goUp);  
scrollDown\_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goDown);

function goUp(evtObj:MouseEvent):void{  
scroll\_mc.y -=325;  
bar\_mc.y+=32;  
}  
function goDown(evtObj:MouseEvent):void{  
scroll\_mc.y +=325;  
bar\_mc.y-=32;  
}
