I’m trying to limit the range with which a movieclip can be moved on the stage using the mc\_name.\_y = mc\_name.\_y + 10.

I’m thinking of using a if/else statement but I can’t figure out the proper way to write the code.

I don’t want my movieclip to be able to be moved off the stage completely.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,  
Will

. Here is the code so far:

zoomin.onRelease = function () {  
tellTarget(“a”)  
{  
nextFrame();  
}  
}

zoomout.onRelease = function () {  
tellTarget(“a”)  
{  
prevFrame();  
}  
}  
up.onRelease = function () {  
a.\_y = a.\_y + 10;  
}

down.onRelease = function () {  
a.\_y = a.\_y - 10;  
}

left.onRelease = function () {  
a.\_x = a.\_x + 10;  
}  
right.onRelease = function () {  
a.\_x = a.\_x - 10;  
}
