Hey Everyone,

I’m currently having a problem with an image that changes direction depending on the mouse movement

Heres the code i’m using

onMouseMove = function() {  
if(\_root.\_xmouse\>Stage.width/2)  
{  
fishy1.\_xscale \*= -1;  
}  
else if(\_root.\_xmouse\<Stage.width/2)  
{  
fishy1.\_xscale \*= 1;  
}  
else  
{  
// do nothing  
}  
}

The image seems to move fine when on the left hand side, yet when I cross over it starts to wildy turn back and forth and usually ends up facing the wrong way. Any suggestions on how to stop this happening?

id have to c an fla b4 i can really say but you could try using -100 and 100 instead of \* 1 might be causing it not quite sure.
