Vcam cursor

[Wolfears2]

Well, I'm using a Vcam as my cursor for a game (AS2 if it matters) but the cursor keeps flinging offscreen. anybody know how to fix it? I've marked the edges of my flash with thick black lines.

I'd make sure not to allow the mouse to escape those boundaries with a 'if mouse X and mouse y are at that point, stop moving any further'

That's one option

Thanks Rath =) I need to work on my script.

Right, I've got this code

onClipEvent (mouseMove) {
	if (!_x<=0) {
		if (!_x>=550) {
			if (!_y>=0) {
				if (!_y<=400) {
					_x = _root._xmouse;
					_y = _root._ymouse;
				}
			}
		}
	}
}
onClipEvent (load) {
	Mouse.hide();
}

and my Vcam doesn't move. Have I got the >< the wrong way round or something?

Sorry for triple

anyway, I've fixed my last error, but now I can't get back withing the boundaries.

onClipEvent (mouseMove) {
	if (_x>=0) {
		if (_x<=550) {
			if (_y>=0) {
				if (_y<=400) {
					_x = _root._xmouse;
					_y = _root._ymouse;
				}
			}
		}
	}
}
onClipEvent (load) {
	Mouse.hide();
}

This isn't going to fix anything, but I'm going to point out that it's a lot easier to reduce that to...

if (_x >= 0 && _x <= 550 && _y >= 0 && _y <= 400) {
     _x = _root._xmouse;
     _y = _root._ymouse;
}

The logical && (and) operator will check for each condition until it finds 'false', so it will do the same thing your code is doing. Just a good habit to get into and will save you a lot of time and grief in the long run.

Thanks Cap'n. I already got the code working, but I'm gonna have to start doing that =P

Would you mind sharing the code with us?

Sure, its

onClipEvent (mouseMove) {
	if (_x>=0) {
		if (_x<=550) {
			if (_y>=0) {
				if (_y<=400) {
					_x = _root._xmouse;
					_y = _root._ymouse;
				}
			}
		}
	}
	if(_x<0){
		_x=5
	} else if(_x>550){
		_x=545
	} else if(_y<0){
		_y=5
	} else if(_y>400){
		_y=395
	}
}
onClipEvent (load) {
	Mouse.hide();
}

Not put the && in yet, but it works, so I'm happy =)
