sliding menus

[jacksplat]

my friend is having a problem with this. i'm pretty sure hes using mx, but i'm not positive. heres the problem in his words:

this controls my sliding menu,
problem is it shifts the menu the opposite direction that i want. HELP!!!

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
Xpos = _root.slideMenu._x;
Xdiff = (_root._xmouse - 345) - Xpos;
Xmove = Xdiff/50;
if(_root._xmouse > 0 && _root._xmouse < 350){
_root.slideMenu._x = Xpos + Xmove;
}
_root.menuPos = _root.slideMenu._x;
updateAfterEvent(enterFrame);
}

If all you want is to move the clip the other way add a minus sign ( I've put it before the Xdiff/50 bit)... I also would take out the updateAfterEvent() because it doesn't actually do anything in this case.

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
Xpos = _root.slideMenu._x;
Xdiff = (_root._xmouse-345)-Xpos;
Xmove = -Xdiff/50;
if (_root._xmouse>0 && _root._xmouse<350) {
_root.slideMenu._x = Xpos+Xmove;
}
_root.menuPos = _root.slideMenu._x;
}
