I have this code on a sliding image

\_root.xnew = \_root.mask2.\_x+( myButtLink4 -0)\*100/1;

I can make it go to the right but if I try to make it  
go to the left the code doesn’t work.

e.g.

\_root.xnew = \_root.mask2.\_x+( myButtLink4 7.7-0)\*100/1;

what am I doing wrong??

I´ve seen the tut and it is not exactly what you have done.

[SIZE=1]kirupa´s code[/SIZE]

```auto
_root.xnew = _root.mask2._x+(4-1)*100/2;

```

[SIZE=1]yours code[/SIZE]

```auto
_root.xnew = _root.mask2._x+( myButtLink4 -0)*100/1;

```

* * *

first: any number, minus zero ( **-0** ) and divided by one ( **/1** ) would be the same. that´s why I´ve asked you why they were there.

second: you got everything upside-down. that line:

```auto
_root.xnew = _root.mask2._x+(4-1)*100/2;

```

means:  
[SIZE=1]new position on x axis **IS EQUAL TO** _mask2_ position on x axis **plus** (4-1) **multiplied by\*\*\*\*100 divided by** 2 [/SIZE]

or:

[SIZE=1]new position on x axis **IS EQUAL TO** _mask2_ position on x axis **plus** 150;[/SIZE]

so, it is a number. what you have to do is to find the nuber (VALUE) of the position on the X axis that you want to place your object and use it there. Perhaps if you post your fla here I can be of better help :-\
