Stop moving?

1

How do I get an object to only move between two points if Iam moving it with the key arrows? The object moves right out the screen.

use an if statement

if (this._x > maxX) {
this._x = maxX
}
if (this._x < minX) {
this._x = minX
}
if (this._y > maxX) {
this._y = maxX
}
if (this._y < minX) {
this._y = minX
}

replace maxX minX maxY and minY with your values

or add a variable

maxX = whatever
minX = whatever
maxY = whatever
minY = whatever

so it should be something like this:

onClipEvent (load) {
	maxX = whatever
	minX = whatever
	maxY = whatever
	minY = whatever
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
	if (this._x > maxX) this._x = maxX
	if (this._x < minX) this._x = minX
	if (this._y > maxX) this._y = maxX
	if (this._y < minX) this._y = minX
}

hope it helps :beam:
