Hey everyone,  
I’m having a hard time trying to figure out how to put boundaries on a slider menu I developed.  
Here is my code that I have:

var myShape:Shape = new Shape();  
myShape.graphics.beginFill(0x7E00E3);  
myShape.graphics.drawRect(0,-35,605,70);

addChild(myShape);  
menu\_mc.mask=myShape;

function movement(event:Event):void  
{  
menu\_mc.x = menu\_mc.x + (0.5\* myShape.width - mouseX) / 40;  
}

stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER\_FRAME, movement);

it works great, but the menu system doesn’t stop, it just keeps on going. So far everything I have tried isn’t working. Any ideas?  
Thanks for the help!
