i cant get megaman._x to = _xmouse

[AlysiumX]

code is as follows :

//if megaman is = to x mouse
if(Math.round(megaman._x) == Math.round(_xmouse)) {
if(mousex == 0 || mousex == 1)
megaman.gotoAndPlay(21);
mousex = 2;
}
//if megaman is greater than x mouse
if(Math.round(megaman._x) > Math.round(_xmouse)){
megaman._x = megaman._x -5;
if(mousex == 1 || mousex == 2)
megaman.gotoAndPlay(67);
mousex = 0;
}
//if megaman is less than x mouse
if(Math.round(megaman._x) < Math.round(_xmouse)){
megaman._x = megaman._x +5;
if(mousex == 0 || mousex == 2)
megaman.gotoAndPlay(53);
mousex = 1;
}

now heres where the problem comes in, say my mouse is at 5 and megaman is at 5, if i move my mouse to 4, megaman is now greater than my mouse (if megaman is > _xmouse) however, megaman can not move, because i told him to move -5(megaman._x = megaman._x - 5;) if he move negative 5 he is now less than 5 and not equal to( -5 + 4 = -1), so he just doesn't move at all. plz help, thx in advance.

if(Math.round(megaman._x) < Math.round(_xmouse)+5 && Math.round(megaman._x) > Math.round(_xmouse)-5){
megaman._x = _xmouse;
}

This will check to see if your megaman is within a certain range of xmouse. Xmouse+5 and xmouse-5. If he is within that range it just sets him to the xmouse.

ok i almost got it, that code works ,but i just relized i need to add if(megaman._x > _.xmouse - 60) in the case where i add -60 what would i change the value to of the script you just gave me?

nvm, my values are all screwed up, im gonna have to figure this out....

ok heres whats going on now, hes a little offset from the mouse, so i need to add - 60 to put him on the center of the mouse, im just wondering how the code you just game me , works with a - 60 offset.

if(Math.round(megaman._x) < Math.round(_xmouse)-55 && Math.round(megaman._x) > Math.round(_xmouse)-65){
megaman._x = _xmouse-60;
}

Are you calling the code every frame? i.e.

onEnterFrame = function():Void{
// your code here
}
