In this code I was playing around with my movieclip. It animates but I am trying to get it to stop when the mouse is on the movieclip. It stops but it jumps back to the start position where I just want it to stop with out jumping back.

onClipEvent (load) {  
move = true;  
}  
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {  
if (\_root.\_xmouse\<286) {  
this.\_x += 5;  
move = true;  
}  
if (\_root.\_xmouse\>287) {  
this.\_x -= 5;  
move = true;  
}  
if (\_root.\_ymouse\>125 & \_root.\_ymouse\<204) {  
this.\_x = move;  
move = false;  
}  
}
