hi, i have this code:

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {  
if (this.\_x\<=40 and this.\_x\>=-800) {  
\_root.yChange = Math.round(\_root.\_ymouse-this.\_y);  
// Calculates the distance between the movie clip and the mouse  
\_root.xChange = Math.round(\_root.\_xmouse-365);  
// Calculates the distance between the movie clip and the mouse  
\_root.yMove = Math.round(\_root.yChange/20);  
// Determines the amount the movie clip should move toward the mouse, grows larger the further the mouse gets from the MC  
\_root.xMove = Math.round(\_root.xChange/20);  
// See above  
this.\_x -= \_root.xMove;  
}  
if (this.\_x\>=40) {  
this.\_x = 30;  
}  
if (this.\_x\<=-800) {  
this.\_x = -780;  
}  
}

at the moment, the movie clip moves so it reveals more in that direction and when it gets to a certain point it stops and moves the movieclip back inside the boundaries.  
the problem is that as it comes to the ends/boundaries it flickers (once it is placed back inside the boundary it starts scrolling again and then keeps jumping back again)

how can i stop this?  
is there a better way to script this?

thanks
