The following block of script works as stated on [kirupa.com](http://kirupa.com) as far as moving to the right via the this.\_x += speed.

However, I am trying to modify it to stop scrolling if the the x pos. is less than 136. I am a bit of a noob-hack when it comes to actionscript syntax…as you can see below. please help!

Thanks in advance

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {  
speed = 1;  
this.\_x += speed;  
if (this.\_x\<=136) {  
speed = 0;  
}  
}

- the movement works, but it dosnt stop…
