Create slight movement with movie clip???

Hi I have a movie clip which is exactly W: 1100 H: 750

All i need is to add is mouse movement so when you scroll up down left right the movie clip moves about 50pixels in each direction.....any tutorial script I have found does not add a width and height restriction making me drag the movie off the screen. I've seen this a lot in websites so thought it would be simple enough to find but I haven't been lucky so any help/tutorial link etc will be great

mouse movement so when you scroll....

what are you trying to say man...

scroll as in when you click scroll buttons the movie clip moves
scroll as in when you scroll your mouse wheel the movie clip moves
scroll as in according to your mouse position within _x and _y restraints the movie clip moves...

scroll as in when you scroll your mouse wheel the movie clip moves but will will not move off the screen so there needs to be something in place which says you cannot move past this point.....hope that clears things up

thanks

Eddie

movieclip you want to scroll instance name = "clipName"

Code:

---

var moveAmount:Number = 50;

var mouseListener:Object = new Object();
mouseListener.onMouseWheel = function(delta) {

        if(delta < 0){
                moveDown();
        } else if (delta > 0){
                moveUp();
        }
}
Mouse.addListener(mouseListener);

function moveUp():Void {
        if(clipName._y <=0){
                // tween clipName._y to + moveAmount
        }
}

function moveDown():Void {
        if(clipName._y >= -565){
                // tween clipName._y to - moveAmount
        }
}

---

if(clipName._y <=0 ){ // this is the "you cannot move higher than this point"

if(clipName._y >= -565){ // "you cannot move below this point"

My main movie is at work but I quickly created a movie clip with the instance name specified and inputted your script in a keyframe directly above the MC but nothing is happening when I move my mouse?

cheers

test the movie outside of flash.
ie. run the .swf file in using standalone flash player not through flash movie export

I've tested .swf movie using a standalone flash player and even uploaded the file to my server but nothing happens to the movie clip once the mouse is being moved around the screen?

I'm using flash CS4 and AS2 if this has any effect......maybe you could send a link to a working .fla you have to see if there's anything I'm not doing?

Thanks

Eddie

the example i sent you was for cs4 and as2 as well.. i dont have a computer w flash till monday . ill help if u cant figure it out by then.

still no joy so yeh if you can put up a working example that would be great.

thanks

Eddie
