Constraining Mouse Coordinates

[tittel@fuse.net]

Hi all,

I have a panorama that scrolls according to the mouse _x value (i'm getting the _x value from a dragged mc).

everything works great. the only problem is it scrolls when my mouse is not only over the panorma image but anywhere in the swf file. i want to constrict the scrolling to only the area that has the panororama image.

any suggestions would be helpful.

thanks!

if your panorama is a movieclip itself, you can use onClipEvent(mouseOver/mouseOut) actions to determine when the mouse is over it.

otherwise you can determine the coords of the image and set an if statement like:

if(_root._xmouse>left && _root._xmouse<right && _root._ymouse>top && _root._ymouse<bottom)

or you can make invisible buttons that set the property of the _x of the movie clip. Just make the buttons cover the area of your movie clip that you want to be panned and set their alpha to 0.
