here is a movie that i put together that has a lot of controls that i’m thinking about using. how do i add limits to them?

also … does anyone know how to change the color with a button press … or maybe apply a random color to the object?

Man you’re wasting space… 🙂

```auto
on (press, keyPress "<Right>") {
	tellTarget ("") {
		with (blue) {
			_x += 10;
		}
	}
}

```

How about

```auto
on (press, keyPress "<Right>") {
	blue._x += 10;
}

```

And if you want to put a limit:

```auto
on (press, keyPress "<Right>") {
       if (_x<400) blue._x += 10;
}

```

pom :asian:

i tried inserting the code and it doesnt work. the ball still moves with the shorter code … so thats sweet but it doesnt stop at the bounds i’ve set
