Webmaster Forum / Flash / Flash Actionscript / July 2008

Hi all this is beyond my skill so I am hoping you can help. I have a
scrolling movie clip that scolls left or right depending on where your mouse
moves on the ENTIRE stage. I want to confine it to only work when the mouse
is over the scorlling clip. I am told I need "ymouse test restriction" in
the enginehandler. This is the code for the first lines of the engine
handler
the MC sits on X of -10.9 and Y of 420 THANK YOU so much.

function startEngine() {
this.onEnterFrame = engineHandler;}

function addObjects() { //add objects in the scene

var objects = xmlObj.firstChild.childNodes;

for(var i=0; i<objects.length; i++) {

var link = objects[i].attributes.source; //the image link in the xml file
if (useFixedImageSize==1) source1 = "imgMc"; //image mc linkage id from the
library
     else source1 = "imgMc_01"; var sourceType1 = "library";
var regName1 = "p"+i; //the registration name used in Flash

this.attachMovie(source1,regName1,1000+i);

var x1 = (this["p0"]._width/2 + xOffset) + (i * (this[regName1]._width +
offset));
var y1 = this["p0"]._height/2;

this[regName1]._x = x1;
this[regName1]._y = y1;

//this[regName1]["imgBox"].loadMovie(link); //load external image

if (useZoom) { //set some variables used in object zoom calculation
    this[regName1]["currZoom"] = 0;
}

this[regName1]["info"] = objects[i];//keep the XML node info
nodes[i] = this[regName1]; //add object to nodes array

 //this[regName1].onPress = pressHandler;
//this[regName1].onRelease = this[regName1].onReleaseOutside =
releaseHandler;

}

var nr = objects.length;
var inst = "p"+nr;
var pos = sc.getCoordinates(inst);

totalDistance = (nr * (this["p0"]._width + offset)) - offset;
//trace(totalDistance+"  "+this["p0"]._width);
}
