heres the scenario … im creating a presentation where my movieclip to slowly move to direction Left and right while pressing the keyboard with its respective keys (\<Left\> and \<Right\>)…  
thank you so much for the tutorials…  
ive learned how to that… but my problem right now is that i want my movieclip to stop when it reaches a certain position… so it wont continuously run in the direction… i Press…  
right now im using this script… compliments from this forum BTW:beam:

onClipEvent(load)  
{  
acceleration=0;  
}  
onClipEvent(enterFrame)  
{  
if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT))  
{  
acceleration–;  
}  
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT))  
{  
acceleration++;  
}  
myangle=\_rotation;  
xmov=Math.cos(Math.PI/180\*myangle)_acceleration;  
ymov=Math.sin(Math.PI/180_myangle)\*acceleration;  
\_x+=xmov;  
\_y+=ymov;  
}

… i could stop my movie clip when if press the other direction… but i was thinking that could it be stopped in a certain position even when pressing the key ive used.

thanks so much for your help Guys:beam:
