Does anybody know how this slider increases in speed gradually as you move your cursor left or right? I’ve been looking through the code and can’t really figure it out.

Thanks!

I don’t know about that specific .fla but perhaps this could help;
onClipEvent (load)
{
xcenter=150;
//the center of the scroling movie
speed=1/10;
// the normal speed in wich the movie will move
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame)
{
var distance=\_root.\_xmouse-xcenter;
//this gets the distance of the mouse from the disignated center of the movie
\_x+=(distance\*speed);
//this applies the appropriate motion as a \*\*\*\*ing of speed and distance from the conter
}
Hope that helps 😏

Look at frame 2 in the scripts layer where it tells you:
```auto
startDrag("dragControl", true);
```
And then there is a movie clip with an instance name of _dragControl_ so click on it and view the script on frame 1:
```auto
drag = "/dragControl";
/:w = getProperty("/nav", _width);
/:xPos = getProperty(drag, _x);
/:yPos = getProperty(drag, _y);
/:yPos = /:yPos - 200;
/:xPos = /:xPos - 350;
**[color=red]speed = 45;[/color]**
setProperty("/nav", _x, getProperty("/nav", _x) - (/:xPos / speed));
if (Number(getProperty("/nav", _x)) < Number(-(/:w / 2))) {
setProperty("/nav", _x, 0.01);
} else if (Number(getProperty("/nav", _x)) > 0) {
setProperty("/nav", _x, -/:w / 2);
}
```
The speed is in there and the you can edit it with that, hope this helped!
By the way, this is all Flash 4 syntax so it looks very messy!
