Put this in the button (in this case, I put it on a movie clip instance - same
idea):

onClipEvent (mouseDown) {
if (this.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse)) {
this.startDrag(false, slideMin, this._y, slideMax, this._y);
}
}

onClipEvent (mouseUp) {
if (this.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse)) {
this.stopDrag();
}
}

Where slideMin and slideMax are the bounds for the drag.

I was just wondering how i would go about making a horizontal scroll bar
that can only move lets say a maximum of 20 pixels to the right of the
orgin.

Thanks in Advance

Yeah. Add this:

// on main timeline
slideMax = 294.4; // same as the other slideMin and max
slideMin = 14.4;
ratio = (slideMax-slideMin)/100;

onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
// checks and stores the value every frame
percent = Math.round(this._y* _root.ratio);
}

Thanks for that. Just another quick question would you know how to make the
slider store a value between 0 and 100 depending where the scroll bar is on
the screen?
