I am trying limit the scroll length of a movie clip. I’m sure it’s a simple if/then statement, but I am lost. Does anyone know how to limit the length of the scroll depending on the width of the clip?

on(press, release, keyPress “\<left\>”)  
{  
thumbnails.\_x += 30;  
}

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Adam

I think this belongs in the Flash 8 forum 😉

Welcome to the forums though!
