i have an infinite scrolling menu that works great. now, of course, it needs to stop whenever the mouse is not over the MC. any ideas? heres the script as written now:
```auto
_root.onEnterFrame = function() {
_root.menu_mc._y += (.5*Stage.height-_ymouse)/10;
if (menu_mc._y<-701) {
menu_mc._y = 0;
}
if (menu_mc._y>0) {
menu_mc._y = -701;
}
};
```
to recap, when the mouse is over the menu, it needs to scroll. when it is NOT over the menu, it needs to stop. Thanks.

```auto
_root.menu_mc.onRollOver=funcion(){
this.scroll=true
}
_root.menu_mc.onRollOut=funcion(){
this.scroll=false
}
_root.menu_mc.onEnterFrame = function() {
if(this.scroll==true){
this._y += (.5*Stage.height-_ymouse)/10;
if (this._y<-701) {
this._y = 0;
}
if (this._y>0) {
this._y = -701;
}
}
};
```
or
```auto
_root.menu_mc.onRollOver=funcion(){
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
this._y += (.5*Stage.height-_ymouse)/10;
if (this._y<-701) {
this._y = 0;
}
if (this._y>0) {
this._y = -701;
}
};
}
_root.menu_mc.onRollOut=funcion(){
delete(this.onEnterFrame)
}
```

huh?!
\_root.menu\_mc.onRollOver=function(){
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
this.\_y += (.5\*Stage.height-\_ymouse)/10;
if (this.\_y\<-701) {
this.\_y = 0;
}
if (this.\_y\>0) {
this.\_y = -701;
}
};
}
\_root.menu\_mc.onRollOut=function(){
delete(this.onEnterFrame)
}
if you roll over the mc, it starts scrolling. :h:

would there be any way to create variables for the menu using rollOver/rollOut (such as maybe rollOver=true and rollOut=false), then tell the menu “if…menu=true, play the scrolling menu”
not sure how to word all of this…thats where the help comes in. any help would be cool! thanks

> it needs to stop whenever the mouse is not over the MC.
what about
```auto
_root.onEnterFrame = function() {
if(_root._xmouse<200){
_root.menu_mc._y += (.5*Stage.height-_ymouse)/40;
if (menu_mc._y<-701) {
menu_mc._y = 0;
}
if (menu_mc._y>0) {
menu_mc._y = -701;
}
}
};
```
where 200 is the border between menu and the rest of the movie

mcgiver…your script worked great for your movie. the problem (and i’m not sure why) is that on my movie, my scrolling menu has several different buttons within it that link to other MCs. with your script i could either have the buttons active (and the menu would not scroll) OR i could have the menu scroll (and the buttons wouldn’t work)…i have no idea what was keeping the both of them from working together.???
2nd day…your script worked out great. thanks
thanks for the help from both of you (and anyone else who took the time to help out). THANKS AGAIN

of course.
if you call an on method on a parent clip, all “on” stuff inside gets disabled.
just for the records:
some way to avoid that would be i.e.:
\_root.menu\_mc.sometransparentmc.onRollOver=function(){
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
\_parent.\_y += (.5\*Stage.height-\_ymouse)/10;
if (\_parent.\_y\<-701) {
\_parent.\_y = 0;
}
if (\_parent.\_y\>0) {
\_parent.\_y = -701;
}
};
}
\_root.menu\_mc.sometransparentmc.onRollOut=function(){
delete(this.onEnterFrame)
}

all i did to stop mine from rolling:
changed:
```auto
onClipEvent (load)...
```
to:
```auto
on(rollOver)...
```
and added:
```auto
on(rollOut) {
speed=0;
}
```
at the end.
seemed to work ok.
