Hey all,

```
  It's been a while since I've last posted, but I read a lot of others' posts, and try to keep up to date.

  My question is this: I have a group of images that are loaded up using xml into a movieclip. The movieclip is masked. I have 2 buttons, that scrolls the grouping either up or down. I would like to make these buttons inactive when the grouping of images is on it's last row, meaning when there is only one row of images shown on the screen/mask.   

 I have tried using hitArea, but I wasn't successful. This would be easy for me to achieve if I wasn't trying to make it a bit dynamic. Basically, someone would be updating the xml file with more nodes/images and the swf would update the list of images, thus making it difficult to hardcode when the list should stop scrolling.

```

Thank you to anyone and everyone who is kind enough to help me with this. I have spent a couple of days on the forums and on other sites, as well as trying to figure it out using my own 2 cents, but to no avail. If there is a tutorial that explains how to do this functionality exactly that I have missed I appologize.

Thanks again, keep up the great work people 🙂
