so i have a MC called “pala” and a button called “nappi” … i have the following script in the first frame of the movie and everything works how it should, but how do i get the “pala” stop moving when it reaches the property -307 ?

var speed:Number = 8;

pala.startMove = function()  
{  
this.onEnterFrame = function()  
{  
this.\_x -= speed;  
}  
}

pala.stopMove = function()  
{  
delete this.onEnterFrame  
}

nappi.onRollOver = function()  
{  
pala.startMove();  
}

nappi.onRollOut = function()  
{  
pala.stopMove();  
}

Maybe this would be better using a scripted tween?

I dont know what you mean “reaches the property -307”. There are numerous properties of a movieclip. Let’s say you mean you want it to stop when the \_x is past -307. It would be [AS]var speed:Number = 8;  
nappi.onRollOver = function()  
{  
pala.onEnterFrame = function()  
{  
this.\_x \<= -307 ? delete this.onEnterFrame : this.\_x -= speed;  
}  
}  
nappi.onRollOut = function()  
{  
delete pala.onEnterFrame;  
}[/AS]
