K heres my deal. I’m moving this little red box along the x axis. It just moves w/ the mouse but it moves off the movie clip area, i want to be able to set the left and right boundries. Heres my code. Any help would be great.

[color=red]mc\_movingBox.onEnterFrame = function() {  
var xMouse = \_root.\_xmouse;  
if(Math.abs(xMouse - this.\_x) \< 1) {  
this.\_x = xMouse;  
} else {  
this.\_x -= (this.\_x-xMouse) / 6;  
}  
}[/color]  
[color=black][/color]
