I am trying to do a slight parallax effect. Right now, the code i’m using takes my object from the far left of the screen, to the far right. I only want it to move like 200 pixels away from the center of the screen.

How can I tweek this code in order to achieve this?

Thanks.

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {  
if (\_root.mainVarX == 0) {  
// horizontale position  
homeX = (-\_root.\_xmouse\*1+1100);

```
} else {
	
	homeX = (-_root.mainVarX +1100);
	
}
thisX = _x;

diffX = homeX-thisX;

if (_root.mainVarX == 0) {
	moveX = diffX/5;
	
} else {
	moveX = diffX/5;
	
}

	_x = thisX+moveX;

```

}
