how can i chack if the mouse goes up or down?
thank's

do you mean on the screen or a mouse button being pressed...

for the first bit, simply compare the position of the mouse to a point of origin, and the sign of this will tell you if it's up or down...eg.

yorigin=300;

if (_root._ymouse>=yorigin){
//mouse down
}
else{
//mouse up
}

hope this is what you mean...

i think that in what you said it chack;s if the mouse is under or above 300, but i want it to know if i'm moving up or down allways.
hope i made myself understandable.

You could put a control movieclip on the stage somewhere.

just attach

onClipEvent (mousemove) {
   if (old > _root._ymouse) {
      _root.mouseDir = "Up"
      old = _root._ymouse
   } else {
      _root.mouseDir = "Down"
      old = _root._ymouse
   }
}

Not sure what you'd want it for but it works.

Go to menu "Insert > New Symbol". Make the new movie a movie clip and give it a name. Drag it to the stage and it will appear as a tiny little object. Click on it, go to the object actions pane and add the code I gave you, when you debug the movie you will see it output "Up" and "Down" as your mouse moves.

As to how you use it

Where you see _root.mouseDir = "Up", you replace that line with the code (however much you like) for what you want to do when the mouse is going up.

Where you see _root.mouseDir = "Down", you replace that line with the code (however much you like) for what you want to do when the mouse is going down.

It's important, though, that you leave the line old = _root._ymouse in.

OK
