I have the basics of the tutorial working. Pretty much everything is working fine. But im now using the menu in a scene that has dimensions larger than that of the movieclip(mask). Now things dont work so well and im having trouble getting hit.tests to work just for the mask. The menu also isnt placed perfectly on X=0 on the left of the stage so the functionality is all wacky. A smaller issue i was curious about was setting up a default direction and speed. whenever the mouse is off the hit.test, the menu just reverts o a slow moving scroll in the left or right direction .Any help would be greatly apprecciated, cuz my brain hurts big time.

I just realized a mistake I made in my post. I said I am working with MX 2004 and I meant to say I am NOT working with 2004, only plain MX. I am sorry about that.
If you are going to post your question in the Flash MX thread then please make sure your attachments are MX. Otherwise there is a nice Flash MX 2004 thread here on the forums.

Lunatic - u mentioned that if i was going to post in the mx tghread that i should make sure my files are mx. but i posted in the MX2004 thread and my file is 2004. so whats the deal?
It’s possible a mod moved this thread, or combined if you posted two versions of the same thing. Either that or I am going crazy, which is very possible. But whenever I go to download an fla to look at I always check first to see which forum topic I’m in because I don’t have MX2004. So I don’t bother to download files from that thread because I can’t open them. I could’ve sworn this thread was originally in the MX forum which is why I posted what I did.
If it wasn’t then my apologies. It’s been a very long day.
well im glad everything is cleared up -if i messed up first, i do apologize. anyways no my problem has yet to be solved - just having an issue with getting the menu to move properly in scene that has bigger dimensions than the menu movie clip. my smaller problem is setting up a default speed for the menu when the mouse isnt over the zone for the hit.test
No biggie - justlearning didn’t understand my request to post MX format fla’s in the MX forum. He posted an MX2004 fla in this thread when it was originally located in the MX forum. The thread got moved after I made my comment.
