Hi. I am trying to make a movieclip (or any object, button, graphic) ease into the opposite direction that my mouse is moving. I have figure out how to do this. I am using the following code applied to the object’s action (thanks to some help from a previous post):

onClipEvent (load) {  
\_x = 0;  
\_y = 0;  
speed = 13;  
}  
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {  
endX = Stage.width-\_root.\_xmouse;  
endY = Stage.height-\_root.\_ymouse;  
\_x = \_x +(endX-\_x)/speed;  
\_y = \_y +(endY-\_y)/speed;  
}

My question is however: Look at this following link. You will see how when the mouse is moved the pictures move opposite, but for a limited distance. (they don’t go off the screen like they would with the code i posted above). How can I limit the movement of the pictures so it won’t go off the screen and only have it move opposite in a limited area? I’ve tried a lot of manipulation of the code and read many tutorials :book: but cannot figure it out Ⓜ

I would greatly appreciate any help. Thanks!
