Hello out there
I'm trying to get an MC to center itself on the y axis of the stage automatically from any where on the stage.
This is my script so far:
(please excuse its crudeness but I'm not in any way programming minded)

getProperty ( _root.box,_y );
if (getProperty (_root.box, _y)</:y_center) {
setProperty ("_root.box", _y, getProperty (_root.box, _y)+/:speed);
} else if (getProperty (_root.box, _y)>/:y_center) {
setProperty ("_root.box", _y, getProperty (_root.box, _y)-/:speed);
}

(where y_center = the stage height divided by 2)
This works fine untill I want the clip to stop dead at the center. In stead the clip will jiggle up and down on the center line
I've tried:
if (getProperty (_root.box, _y)=/:y_center)
goto and stop frame 1
(where frame 1 has a stop action) but this has no effect.
What am I doing wrong??
Cheers in advance.
