Mouse Bounds

programming flash

I currently have a Nav that I am working on that will follow the mouse’s _y position. I am wanting to have bounds set that keep the nav in between certain top _y and bottom _y, but am lost on how to do it.

I have tried applying the same techniques that I would to create bounds for a Dragging menu (define top and bottom bounds) but it didn’t work with the mouse position.

Here is the code so far that makes the menu follow the mouse:

speed = 25;
menu_mc.onEnterFrame = function () {
target_y = _root._ymouse - this._y;
this._y = this._y + (target_y/speed);
}

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Michael

speed = 25;
menu_mc.onEnterFrame = function () {
tempy = _root._ymouse;
if (tempy > topvalue) tempy = topvalue;
if (tempy < bottomvalue) tempy = bottomvalue;
this._y = (tempy - this._y)/speed;

}

Tried that and now it just stays at the top.

I tried defining a variable

topvalue = 33;
bottomvalue = 663;

But no luck.

Did I do something wrong.

Thanks for the response!

This should certainly get you started.
