mouse detect doesn't work, please check the code

[kalvinhobs]

Hi,

What is wrong with that code , it doesn't work

if (_root._xmouse > 390) {
_root.don.gotoAndPlay(6);
} else if (_root._xmouse < 390) {
_root.don.gotoAndPlay(2);
}

There is a mc, intance name "don", that I want to act depending on mouse position.

Thanks for your help

in what event does this code live in?

how often does it run?

you could put it on the clip event enterFrame on the movie clip
don, and then change the code from

_root.don.gotoAndPlay(6);

to

this.gotoAndPlay(6);

where 'this' is the MovieClip don.

Thanks for the reply.
It still doesn't work.I tried to put the code in the first frame of mc"don".
Normally, I put the code in the first frame of main timeline.

There is another code on the page which I get from movie from Flashkit that helps the panoramic view.

That code is;

// Parametros
anchoPelicula = 780;
altoPelicula = 410;
acel = 40;
// Operaciones
fondo_mc._width = anchoPelicula;
fondo_mc._height = altoPelicula;
fondo_mc._x = 0;
fondo_mc._y = 380;
acel /= 40;
panoramica_mc._y = 40;
panoramica2_mc._y = 40;
mitad = anchoPelicula/2;
ancho = panoramica_mc._width;
panoramica_mc._x = 0;
panoramica2_mc._x = (0-ancho);
// Al pasar el mouse encima
fondo_mc.onRollOver = function() {
mover();
};
fondo_mc.onRollOut = function() {
delete panoramica_mc.onEnterFrame;
};
// Funcion Mover
function mover() {
panoramica_mc.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (_xmouse != mitad) {
if (_xmouse<mitad) {
inc = Math.abs(_xmouse-mitad)*(acel/10);
//
if (panoramica_mc._x>anchoPelicula || panoramica2_mc._x>anchoPelicula) {
if (panoramica_mc._x>anchoPelicula) {
panoramica_mc._x = (panoramica2_mc._x-ancho);
} else {
panoramica2_mc._x = (panoramica_mc._x-ancho);
}
panoramica_mc._x += inc;
panoramica2_mc._x += inc;
} else {
panoramica_mc._x += inc;
panoramica2_mc._x += inc;
}
//
} else {
inc = Math.abs(_xmouse-mitad)*(acel/10);
if (panoramica_mc._x<(0-ancho) || panoramica2_mc._x<(0-ancho)) {
if (panoramica_mc._x<(0-ancho)) {
// trace("Paso panoramica 1");
panoramica_mc._x = (panoramica2_mc._x+ancho);
} else {
// trace("Paso panoramica 2");
panoramica2_mc._x = (panoramica_mc._x+ancho);
panoramica_mc._x -= inc;
panoramica2_mc._x -= inc;
}
} else {
panoramica_mc._x -= inc;
panoramica2_mc._x -= inc;
}
}
}
};
}

That code is for background and my character is on a layer over that one.

Any idea?
