lets say I have a movie with dimensions of width 300, height 400  
and i have a MC with a width of 600, centered on the movie…  
I’m trying to scroll it to the left and right, with boundries using this AS on the MC.

[AS]  
onClipEvent(enterFrame) {  
// move right  
if((\_root.\_xmouse \>= 200)and this.\_x \>= 0) {  
this.\_x +=5;  
}  
// move left  
else if((\_root.\_xmouse \<= 100)and this.\_x \<= -300) {  
this.\_x -=5;  
}  
}

[/AS]

but it doesn’t quite work right, the boundries are wrong, can anyone correct that for me?
