flash actionscript: Hi,

I have a horizontal menu that is working great except for two things:

1. I want to make it scroll slowly when users don't have their cursor over it
or vertically near it, but faster when they get near it vertically or the
cursor is over the object. So I'm thinking if I use the _y property that would
work.

2. The graphic that is being scrolled horizontally gets a little wobbly in the
spot that is the 0 point (x and y) of the movieclip. As it slides slowly, it
wobbles like it is slow to redraw.

The script for the object is below. Everything works except the if then
statement with the _y and speed info near the bottom. The menu is positioned at
x=-50 and y=460 and it is 3155 pixels wide x 102 pixels tall.

Thanks!

onClipEvent (load)
{
xcenter=400;
speed=1/200;

}
onClipEvent (enterFrame)
{
var distance=xcenter-_root._xmouse;
_x+=(distance*speed);
if (_x > 0) _x=-1550;
if (_x < -1550) _x=0;
if (_y < 200) speed=1/200;
else
speed=1/80;
}

your variable (speed) should change depending upon the mouse's _y property. but it's changing relative to the movieclip.

That makes sense. So I thought maybe this following script would work, but it
doesn't. Any ideas?

onClipEvent (load)
{
xcenter=400;
speed=1/200;

}
onClipEvent (enterFrame)
{
var distance=xcenter-_root._xmouse;
_x+=(distance*speed);
if (_x > 0) _x=-1550;
if (_x < -1550) _x=0;
if (_ymouse < 450) speed=1/200;
else
speed=1/80;
}
