have a direction string
ie direction=""
when mouseover left side set direction=“left”
when mouseover right side set direction=“right”
then do an
```php
onClipEvent(enterFrame)
{
if(direction=="left")
{
object._x-=10;
}
else if(direction=="right")
{
object._x+=10;
}
}
```

i’m not too sure how to do that :-\
direction = left, right
left = \_xmouse\<225
right = \_xmouse\>225
is it something like that? i’m not too great at this so if its wrong plz ignore it and tell me how it could be done…thx

i have an fla attatched here i think if it works properly…and right now its just moving at a constant speed towards the right…
but i’m trying to make it move to the left when your mouse goes to the left…and to the right when your mouse goes to the right, just like on the infinite menu
it doesn’t have to have a varied speed…just a constant speed is good…and i also want it to only move when your mouse goes on the scrollbar…i’m not sure if that would be hard…but i’m just trying to get the direction thing correct at the moment…so do you know how it would be done?

I think that this does what you wanted. And there was a problem in the code, too.
pom :goatee:

alrite i just found out another problem and i dont’ know howta fix it!
since i got those two buttons where you rollover, it covers the pictures in the scrollbar below.
You can see them, but you can’t click on 'em to link them to something else…
so i was wondering how this could be fixed…!? could you mask more than one thing…? or will that not work either?
i was thinking i would have to do this all in coding instead…would you happen to know how to do this…? how about if we created a box in AS and made it so when you rolled over that invisble box it would still move but wouldn’t affect the things under…
get it…?! anywayz i’m not sure if that’ll work thx for reading \<:}

ok this is beginning to really annoy me cause after i figure out something another problem keeps comming!!
so the this is…i used your code and everything and changed it a bit to make it fit what i wanted…and then the problem is…that i can’t click on the buttons to make em change scenes!!
i added a code to them to change to ‘scene 2’ for example and it doesn’t work!!
whats wrong!!! :bad:

have the buttons target frame labels on the scene you want it to go to.

well this is the code i got on each button right now…
on (release) {
gotoAndPlay(“scene2”, 1);
}
sorry i’m not too sure what you mean by target frame labels…or is the way i did alrite…? just to make sure, doesn’t the ‘1’ already target a frame?

On scene 2 give one of your frames a name like “blah” and on your button apply this action:
```php
on (release) {
_root.gotoAndPlay("blah");
}
```

Did you give the frame a name in scene 2? Let me look at your fla so I can see what you did.
