Ebu,

do you want to move it, or scale it? There would be a difference in the code.

also.. is the object that you want to move a movie clip?

[ebuprams]

i want to move the object and the object is a movie clip
thanx

I've got my sig working that way.

I can't figure the code at the moment. I'll have to get back to you once I can access that file on my comp at home.

*cracks his knuckles*

here's some code for ya:

onClipEvent(load) {

this.onMouseOver = function() {
xScr = 550;//change this to your movie width;
yScr = 400;//change this to your movie height;

_x = _root._xmouse > _x ? _root._xmouse-_width/2: _root._xmouse+_width/2; //all one line

_y = _root._ymouse > _y ? _root._ymouse-_height/2;
_root._ymouse+_height/2; //all one line

_x %= xScr;
_y %= yScr;

}

}

now this here function tests the mouse to see if it's ontop of the image. well actually, with this function (which should work) you won't be able to touch the image at all.
i hope this is what you want. note: this image isn't bound to anything, meaning it can move wherever the hell it wants when you try rolling over it. when you try and move it outside the movie dimensions, it appears on the opposite side of the screen, so that it isn't lost forever.

My thanks also friend for answering the question for me. I'm trying to decypher a PERL script for a paying job and it's consuming me. :)

[thoriphes]

actually, i my code was a bit off. there's one line you should fix, if you hadn't already:

this.onMouseOver should be this.onRollOver
and there's a semicolon where there should be a colon (:)

[ilyaslamasse]

That this.onRollOver feature is very disconcerting, I must say... Why didn't we stick to the old on (rollOver) ?? Does it bring anything ??

Oh, and Thoriphes, nice code ! I like those blabla ? a : b ; stuff cos I can never use them right :D

looks like mouse events have become methods like everything else.

[upuaut8]

oh I see.. what he's doing is MAKING onRollOver into a function by declaring it as such.
