Can someone please help. This scrolling menu runs off the page and I don’t know how to keep it in the boundaries of the stage. Any suggestions? I’ll take anything. **thank you!**

\*\* Here is the AS and I have attached the file below!  
\*\*  
var myShape:Shape = new Shape()  
myShape.graphics.beginFill(0x7E00E3);  
myShape.graphics.drawRect(50,10,450, 100)

addChild(myShape)  
menu\_mc.mask=myShape

stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER\_FRAME, movemenu);  
function movemenu(myevent:Event):void {  
menu\_mc.x = menu\_mc.x + (0.5 \* myShape.width - mouseX) / 40;  
}
