Alright.

It’s late. I’ve been working on this website too long today - so forgive if this is glaringly obvious.

I’ve done some searching - but only turned up one fruitful thread.

I have a solar system clip and I’m rotating my heart’s content out of it. However when I load it as an external movie - it’s enterframe is taking over my movie - For instance I can click anywhere in the Main movie and it still rotates in the child movie. This is inhibiting my use of the mp3 player which sits a few pixels to the right, namely my draggable volume bar.

It’s a click and drag action.

Now I’m going to go try this -

but I was thinking just have it track the mouse before the clipevent call and then if it is sitting outside a certain range, then it doesn’t execute the event…

then have in that call a tracking on the mouse again and if the coordinate goes beyond the range again it stops? or terminates?

Any rate - there are much better coders on here than I, so I’ll stop talking.

Thank you.
