Need help with vertical sliding navigation

1

Hello
I found this movie called Hogg Vertical Sliding Nav in FlashKit.com’s movie section. I downloaded the .FLA file and there’s this part of AS that I don’t quite understand.

onClipEvent (load) {
brems = 4;
solly = 242.4;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
y = solly-_y;
_y += y/brems;
}

Can someone please explain to me what does it mean? I’ve been told that breams and solly is a German word. Thanks :elderly:

onClipEvent (load) {
 speed = 4;
 targetY = 242.4;
 }
 onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
 y = targetY-_y;
 _y += y/speed;
 }

Brems means “brake”, most common in this kind of code tranlated in “speed”. Not quite good: if you increase it, your mc slows down;) solly I don’t know.
