dynamic _x/_y + _xscale/_yscale movement

[darren]

hi

i want to control an mc using the cursor _x/_y pos so that:

• the mc scrolls left/right and up/down
• the mc also increases or decreases in size via _xscale/_yscale

i have a script that does the first one but am unable to successfully get the second part working. as it is a downloaded script that i only understand partially it may make sense for me to start from scratch..

any ideas how i should best proceed would be much appreciated, thanks.

post the working code you already have.

hi

here is the slightly adapted code i'm working with. basically the mc currently scrolls seamlessly horizontally and moves vertically up + down only a small amount (deliberately). i'd like to add x+y scale to this but when i tried there was a clash with the way the mc is currently set up to repeat scroll.

the code:

onClipEvent (load) {

nScreenWidth = 700;
nMaxRate = 10;

function moveLeft(nPixels) {
this._x -= nPixels;
if (this._x<-1400 ){
this._x = 0;


}
}

function moveRight(nPixels) {
this._x += nPixels;
if (this._x>0) {
this._x = -1400;
}
}

nScreenHeight = 500;

function moveDown(nPixels) {
this._y -= nPixels;
if (this._y<-160) {
this._y = -160;
}
}
function moveUp(nPixels) {
this._y += nPixels;
if (this._y>=40) {
this._y = 40;
}
}
}

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_root._ymouse>=500 || _root._ymouse<=0) {
nMaxRate == 0;
} else {

if (_root._xmouse<nScreenWidth/2 && _root._xmouse>0) {
moveRight(nMaxRate-_root._xmouse*nMaxRate/(nScreenWidth/2));
} else {
if (_root._xmouse>nScreenWidth/2 && _root._xmouse<nScreenWidth) {
moveLeft(_root._xmouse*nMaxRate/(nScreenWidth/2)-nMaxRate);

}
}
}
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_root._ymouse<nScreenHeight/2 && _root._ymouse>0) {
moveUp(nMaxRate-_root._ymouse*nMaxRate/(nScreenHeight/2));
} else {
if (_root._ymouse>nScreenHeight/2 && _root._ymouse<nScreenHeight) {
moveDown(_root._ymouse*nMaxRate/(nScreenHeight/2)-nMaxRate);
updateAfterEvent();
}
}

}
