Okay, I feel really stupid but I just can’t seem to fix this. I created this zoom slider originally in a vertical position. I then decided it worked better in a horizontal position so I changed all my "\_x"s to "\_y"s but it is sliding in the opposite direction I want it to go! I feel like I tried everything to fix it but obviously it ain’t working. Why does Flash torment me so?

little help people?

your min is range.\_x horizontally not range.\_x-range.\_width  
max is \_x + \_width  
that should work

Hey cool, thanks! It worked, though of course I had to tweak the scale factor too . . . I love this forum!
