I downloaded the infinite menu which is under new tutorial on top page.  
But now what i want to do is to make it stop on rollover. I have seen that example at  
 ![here is the link](http://www.monarc.com/mariahcarey/music/index.las)

Does anybody know how to do that?

Thank you for your help

I’ve done the same thing for the website i’m doing…  
I did a little bit of modification to the code:

onClipEvent (load)  
{  
xcenter=240.1;  
speed=1/20;  
mode=true;  
}  
onClipEvent (enterFrame)  
{  
if(mode){  
var distance=\_root.\_xmouse-xcenter;  
\_x+=(distance_speed);  
var distance=\_root.\_xmouse-xcenter;  
\_x+=(distance_speed);  
if (\_x \> 0 ) \_x=-840;  
if (\_x \< -840 ) \_x=0;  
}  
}

i’ve made the infinite menu into a movieclip, its instance name on the main timeline is “scrollbar”. the instance name of menu\_general is “menu”.

so, on each one of the button on the infinite menu, i enter this code:

on(rollOut)  
{\_root.scrollbar.menu.mode=true;}  
on(rollOver)  
{\_root.scrollbar.menu.mode=false;}

so… u can do a bit of modification to the instance name yourself…

I’m still quite new to flash, only a few weeks old…so correct me if any of these terms that i use are wrong… took me quite a long time by trial and error… coz i didn’t understand all these level and instance stuff…

hope this is helpful

</div>

onClipEvent (load)  
{  
xcenter=345;  
speed=1/30;  
mode=true;  
}  
onClipEvent (enterFrame)  
{  
if(mode){  
var distance=\_root.\_xmouse-xcenter;  
\_x+=(distance_speed);  
var distance=\_root.\_xmouse-xcenter;  
\_x+=(distance_speed);  
if (\_x \> 0) \_x=-1059;  
if (\_x \< -1059) \_x=0;  
}

BUT I get this error

Symbol=menu\_a, Layer=Layer 1, Frame=1: Line 8: Statement block must be terminated by ‘}’  
{

Symbol=menu\_a, Layer=Layer 1, Frame=1: Line 16: Syntax error.  
}

Can you help
