i am trying to figure out why my mask&pic does not stay within the specified area…

I tried everything but can’t find a way around it

The problem MAY be that the pic&mask are not at 0 in x-axel.  
I think it’s something with this line:  
diffX = \_root.\_xmouse - \_root.mask.\_x;

any suggestions?
