flash actionscript: Hello
I have a menu with a movie clip that slides following the mouse, up and down
The code looks as follows

onClipEvent (load)
_y = 0
speed = 8

onClipEvent (enterFrame)
endY = _root._ymouse
_y += (endY-_y)/speed


I need to make this movie clip follow the mouse only within a specified area
on the stage and not the entire stage, and when the mouse exits the specified
area, the movie clip should return back to a default position on the stage

I would appreciate any help to accomplish this
Thank
Mauric

the easiest way would probably be to enclose your action in an if statement,
like this

if (_root._xmouse >= leftBorder &&
_root._xmouse <= rightBorder &&
_root._ymouse >= topBorder &
_root._ymouse <= bottomBorder)


} else {_y = homeY;

then, obviously set the variables, topBorder, rightBorder, etc... to whatever
you want
let me know if you still have question

this works great, exactly as expected, just one small problem
when the mouse exits the area, the movie clip jumps back to the homeY
position, and I would like to make is slide back smoothly, just the same way as
it slides when following the mouse

thanks for your help!
