Percentage in A.S. 1

I don't really know how difficult or easy this may be but instead of a specified value, how would I get this to work based on a percentage of the screen width.

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_root._xmouse < 50) {
setProperty("_root.sky", _x, _x+1);
}
if (_root._xmouse > 500) {
setProperty("_root.sky", _x, _x- 1);
}
xpos3 = math.floor(getProperty(_root.sky, _x));
if (xpos3 >=508) {
setProperty("_root.sky", _x, -630);
}
if (xpos3 <=-1210) {
setProperty("_root.sky", _x, -76);
}
}

Hello...

You can set up variables to hold the stage width info, and then reference whenever (or on the fly with no variables):

xPercentile = Stage.width/100
yPercentile = Stage.height/100

So for example, to reference 75% of the stage, you can just use something like this.

xPercentile*75

Doing the same thing with no variables will be done like this:

(Stage.width/100)*75

Anyways, that should do it for you, but you will have to adapt that to your code above. Hope it helps!

Thanks! That did it.
