Hi!

I’m having trouble with a scrolling image bar. Below is the code

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {  
direction = ((-247-\_root.\_xmouse)/25);

if ( ((this.\_x\>=403) && (direction \> 0)) || ((this.\_x\<=-873)&&(direction\<0)) ) {

direction = 0;  
}  
this.\_x = this.\_x+direction;  
}

I have problems with line 2 of the code, whereby:  
direction=((-247-\_root.\_xmouse)/25); meaning that -247 does not work, wherby if I placed a positive number, say 2, it will work. Unfortunately, it is a series of images , like a photo gallery, so it is very long, and the centre position of the clip is a negative position, at -247. Is there a way to rectify this problem as I’m not too good with programming and got this script off from somewhere.
