I’d like to check if a mc’s \_x and \_y properties are between a certain range, but can’t find out how to. Now that I’m typing this (I can’t check it in Flash right now at the moment), I’m thinking if this will work:

let’s say the mc is called mcMyMovie and it has to be between 90 & 100 (both for x and y)

if(mcMyMovie.\_x =\< 100 && mcMyMovie.\_x =\>90 && mcMyMovie.\_y =\<100 && mcMyMovie.\_y =\>90) {

}

Would this work or is there a shorter way to write this down in code ? In maths I’d write something like 90 \< mcMyMovie.\_x \<100.

Thanks! 🙂
