hi TIU! try this one…  
[AS]onClipEvent (load) {  
xcenter = 597.5; //=(mask width)/2+mask.\_x  
speed = 2/10;  
}  
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {  
var distance = \_root.\_xmouse-xcenter;  
\_x += (distance\*speed);  
if (\_x\>475) {  
\_x = 120;  
}  
if (\_x\<120) {  
\_x = 475;  
}  
}{[/AS]  
xcenter = 597.5 = (mask width)/2+mask.\_x  
or  
xcenter = 597.5 = 245/2+475;

475 = x of mask (rightmost)  
120= x of mask (lefttmost)

considering your mask has a width=245, x=475.0

in your case:  
[AS]onClipEvent (load) {  
xcenter = 593.8;  
speed = 2/10;  
}  
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {  
var distance = \_root.\_xmouse-xcenter;  
\_x += (distance\*speed);  
if (\_x\>476.8) {  
\_x =119.7;  
}  
if (\_x\<119.7) {  
\_x = 476.8;  
}  
}{[/AS]  
xcenter = 593.8 = (mask width)/2+mask.\_x  
or  
xcenter = 593.8 = 243/2+476.8;

leftover:  
please be considerate… you don’t have to do that to catch someones attention… not at all times pipol here got the time to jump on all questions…
