Hello,

I have been developing this piece of code with the help of people in the forum and what I have so far is below. It makes a clip move around the screen in the opposite direction to the mouse.

It all works fine, but when the clip moves, it is jerky. Is there any way to make it move more smoothly without increasing the framerate? Increasing the framerate does not do anything on older computers with slower processers.

Can the code be altered at all to make the clip move more smoothly?

Many thanks

James

onClipEvent(Load){
//where 550 X 400 is your movie size
M_halfwidth= 550/2
M_halfheight= 400 /2
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {

//this will always move the peice relevant to the centre
//as it tracks every frame not just when mouse moves= no delay

_y = M_halfheight+(M_halfheight-_root._ymouse);
_x = M_halfwidth+(M_halfwidth-_root._xmouse);

//then you need to check if you have moved 2 far
//check _x at minimum and max
if (_x<=0){
_x=0;
}else if (_x>=M_halfwidth*2){
_x=M_halfwidth*2;
}

// do the same for _y
if (_y<=0){
_y=0;
}else if (_y>=M_halfheight*2){
_y=M_halfheight*2;
}


}
