Hello... this is my first post on the forum but I look forward to plenty more. Anyway, In the works of a navigation menu I was looking to have a wheel(see below) follow the mouse, but only in a certain area. Here's what I mean :

[swf x=600 y=480]http://home.comcast.net/~donwilmot/abc1.swf[/swf]

where the wheel moves on the right I would like it to move just along that white stripe. I tried searching everywhere and could'nt find what I was looking for. Hopefully someone might be able to steer me in the right direction. I also read somewhere about using hit test? I couldnt seem to get that to work well.

the code I'm using right now is:

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
this._x = _root._xmouse;
this._y = _root._ymouse;
if(this._x<=604.5){
this._x=603;
}
if(this._x>=640){
this._x=639;
}
if(this._y<=65){
this._y=66;
}
if(this._y>=458){
this._y=457;
}

}

Thanks in advance for any help!
