I’ll use this as an example:  
[http://www.flashkit.com/movies/Games/RPG\_-\_en-Itamar\_L-7738/index.php](http://www.flashkit.com/movies/Games/RPG_-_en-Itamar_L-7738/index.php)

How would I make it so when the character gets to the edge of the screen it scrolls to show more of the map? When using a mouse that is.  
[http://www.tonypa.pri.ee/tbw/tut14.html](http://www.tonypa.pri.ee/tbw/tut14.html) is a tutorial for scrolling when the character is controlled by the keyboard but I have no idea how to setup something like that when they are controlled by mouse.

Is it even possible to do in flash? It seems like it would be but I haven’t seen any games that even work like that. Any help is appreciated, this is driving me nuts. XD

```auto

if(this._x<0)
{
    _root.bg._x-=550;
    this._x = 550;
}
else if(this._x>550)
{
    _root.bg._x+=550;
    _this._x=0;
}

```

Put that on your character that moves inside of the “onClipEvent(mouseMove)” code. That will hopefully work.

Yes this is definately possible, good swapdepths in that game, u should be able to do it pretty simply with tonypa’s, there’s a scrolling one and theres a mouse controlled one, therefore just combine the two together, ie use the scrolling one as a base, but make it mouse controlled, this should only take u like 10mins of cutting and pasting, or less even
