any ideas?

Basically, I am experiencing an inconsistancy with the behavior of an equation that is calculating the change in y position from one movie clip sequentially from frame to frame, and transforming the amount of change from a smaller range to an amount of change to a larger range; moving the target mc between two points. The inconsistancy is that target mc doesn’t always reach the top and bottom .y points, even though the slider mc does.
