map goes off page

[wdv]

can someone take a look at the attached .fla, i managed to create a map that moves with the keyboard arrows but now, I noticed that the map doesnt stop at the edges. if you move it to any far side it keeps going off the page. is there a action script to tell the mc to stop once it reaches the end of the map?

Any suggestions or tutorial link?

Hey, its me again, but I feel so compromised with your map
You have got almost all code...You only have to add a ssimple code like this
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
_root.map._x -= 10;
if (_root.map._x < 10) {
_root.map._x += 10;
}
}
}
with this condition you set the limit
if (_root.map._x < 10) {
with this you increase the same decrease value when mc is on the limit, so, your mc velocity is 0
_root.map._x += 10;

i kept getting a script error prompt

this (


on (release){
gotoAndPlay(1);
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)) {
_root.map._y -= 25;
if (_root.map._x< 25){
}
}
}
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (Key.isDown(Key.UP)) {
_root.map._y += 25;
if (_root.map._x< 25){
}
}
}
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {
_root.map._x += 25;
if (_root.map._x< 25){
}
}
}
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
_root.map._x -= 25;
if (_root.map._x< 25){
}
}
}
}

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)) {
_root.map._y -= 10;
} else if (Key.isDown(Key.UP)) {
_root.map._y += 10;
} else if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {
_root.map._x += 10;
} else if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
_root.map._x -= 10;
}
if (_x < 0) {
_x = 0;
} else if (_x > 150) {
_x = 150;
}
if (_y < 0) {
_y = 0;
} else if (_y > 150) {
_y = 150;
}
}

That should do what you want :). Just play around with the values.

Yeah, maybe separate 'clipEvents' are breaking up your code..But first, you need plus the oppositte value to stop map under the second condition.

Thanks guys I tried both ways and couldnt seem to still figure it out, I played with the numbers but couldnt get a affect. I have re-attached the .fla with my new code, I am not getting a script error, it just still doesnt work :(, i greatly appreciate the help so far :)

Keep the align top edge & left edge, and youll be sweet(it will make the map automatically stop by chcking its width etc) Just make sure you have the align right!! :) (ctrl+k)

cool works now :), thanks nathan and everyone else for helping. It seems like there are a thousand ways to do any one thing in flash. Man I need to get a action script book.
