FLASH:Serious dragging malfunction

[Aaron Schurman]

Hello flashers, I am trying to figure out a way of using mouse movement to

control the movement of a layer.  In the example I set up, I have a line of

text that is really long (goes of the canvas both sides) and I want to have

this scroll from side to side with respect to the mouse movement.  I want it

to move in a mirrored fashion (so if you move your mouse to the right the

text scrolls left and vice versa) and I seem to be running into problems.

Here is the actionscript that I have set up:


If (tracking = 1)

	Set Variable: "horizcord" = GetProperty ("/tracker;_x)

	If (horizcord >= 275)

		Set Property ("/text, X Position) = xmove - 5

		Set Variable "xmove" = xmove - 5

	Else If (horizcord > 275)

		Set Property ("/text, X Position) = xmove + 5

		Set Variable "xmove" = xmove + 5

	End If

End If


The frame before this said:

Set Variable: "xmove" = 275


What this is I have a document 550 pixels wide, and I am using the center

point of that document to tell whether the text should be moving left or

right.  That's why xmove = 275.  Now I built this tracker off someone elses

help file on flashcentral and I am not sure if there is any easier way to

build the tracking system.  But what it should do is once you pass your

mouse over this large invisible button, it somehow starts the tracker going.

Can anyone please help me figure this out...I am still trying to get a grasp

on this action script stuff...I deeply apologize for being so stupid!!

Please help!

Aaron
