trying to move to a certain point in my content without actually usually the scrollFace or arrow buttons. I can move the content easily enough by just setting the \_y position of the content MC, but figuring out the placement of the scrollFace is driving me nuts. Any suggestions?

Hoping for something like this:

```auto

function moveMyContent(ypos) {
      contentMain._y = ypos;
      scrollFace._y = ???? 
}

```

[/COLOR][COLOR=Black]I’m sure it’s something like ypos\*(contentHeight-maskHeight)/(scrollHeight-scrollFaceHeight) but I can’t get it. :jail:[/COLOR]
