Re: FLASH: brain hurts.... sliding menu help!

[Olga]

I've had minor successes with my overnight attempts at this sliding menu

deal--       but only minor successes!

http://www.twitchy.com/organictest.swf  I need to figure out how to make the

objects move inversely from the mouse's direction, which I would imagine is

the result of a well-placed negative or something equally easy, I'm just not

sure where to put it!  :)  The other problem, is obviously,  when the

objects hit the edges and repeat, they slide to where they were originally

rather than staying at the opposite edge....  please, please if you have a

hint, throw it my way! :)  Thank you already for all your help, I'm just a

little non-programming minded design girl just trudging along...
