I know everyone has wrote this a hundred times,  
BUT I just can’t get it to work

I have a main content area called MC that is very wide  
Then a mask around the area I want to see of the MC

I have two buttons set up below the mask for LEFT and RIGHT

How to I make those buttons move the main content, and stop when It gets to the end of the masked area so you dont just keep scrolling

ALL I HAVE in my code right now, is attached the left and right buttons—  
on(release){  
MC.\_y = (MC.\_y)-50;  
}

is there more to it than that?  
How do I stop it?

HELP!
