[FONT=Arial]Hi,

I’m having trouble making a scrolling “portfolio” for a website.

Basically, when the mouse is over the left arrow, it moves right & visa versa. The problem i’m having is that I can’t stop it when the mouse leaves the arrow.

It’s a graphic thats moving left & right with a mask over the top.

Hopefully that made sense - my code is below.

## Thanks!

function left(){  
movement=10;  
position = 10+movement;  
identity.\_x = identity.\_x + movement;  
}  
function right(){  
movement=10;  
position = 10+movement;  
identity.\_x = identity.\_x-movement;  
}

function goleft(){  
identity.onEnterFrame = left;

}  
function goright(){  
identity.onEnterFrame= right;  
}  
//this is where i’d put the method for it to stop moving…  
function s(){  
identity.stop();  
}  
movement\_mc.onRollOver= s;  
left\_mc.onRollOver = goleft;  
left\_mc.onRollOut = s;  
right\_mc.onRollOut = s;  
right\_mc.onRollOver = goright;
