programming problem with mc's growing in size

[Anthony Smith]

heya peoples .. weve got a coding problem here.. were making a site that

uses a mc following the mouse, and it is suppposed to follow perspecitve as

you drag the mouse.. ie when the mouse is at the bottom of the screen the mc

is big.. when its at the top of the screen the mc is small.. check here if

your confused.. http://www.lowercase.com.au/lowercase1.htm


the problem is that over time the movie clip grows and grows ( slowly but

gradually ) even tho the code is working fine.. any ideas whats wrong?




here's the code


_root.hidden.mousex is the x position of a hidden movie that is being

dragged.  This piece of code loops.


posx1 = getProperty("/dragobject", _x)-_root.hidden.mousex;

if (Number(posx1)>0) {

    accelx = -(posx1*posx1)/1000;

} else {

    accelx = (posx1*posx1)/1000;

}

posy1 = getProperty("/dragobject", _y)-_root.hidden.mousey;

if (Number(posy1)>0) {

    accely = -(posy1*posy1)/1000;

} else {

    accely = (posy1*posy1)/1000;

}

speedx = (Number(speedx)+Number(accelx))*.9;

speedy = (Number(speedy)+Number(accely))*.5;

setProperty ("_root.dragobject", _x, Number(getProperty("_root.dragobject",

_x))+Number(speedx));

setProperty ("_root.dragobject", _y, Number(getProperty("_root.dragobject",

_y))+Number(speedy));

setProperty ("_root.dragobject", _xscale,

Number(getProperty("_root.dragobject", _xscale))+(Number(speedy)));

setProperty ("_root.dragobject", _yscale,

Number(getProperty("_root.dragobject", _yscale))+(Number(speedy)));


any help would be greatly appreciated!!
