Key Capture

[Shashank]

Iam using the following command...to capture the key and move the object,
now i want to move it only on certain area,
for now its moving out of the scen,

i want to restrict it to certain area.

the code i use on the movie clip to move is onClipEvent (keyDown) {
if (Key.isDown(key.LEFT)) {
_x -= 4;
}
}
onClipEvent (keyDown) {
if (Key.isDown(key.RIGHT)) {
_x += 4;
}
}
onClipEvent (keyDown) {
if (Key.isDown(key.UP)) {
_y -= 4;
}
}
onClipEvent (keyDown) {
if (Key.isDown(key.DOWN)) {
_y += 4;
}
}


can some one help in this

thankx...

onClipEvent (keyDown) { 
    if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) { 
        if (_x > 10) { 
            _x -= 4; 
        } 
    } else if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
        if (_x < 490) { 
            _x += 4; 
        } 
    }
    if (Key.isDown(Key.UP)) { 
        if (_y > 10) { 
            _y -= 4; 
        } 
    } else if (Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)) {
        if (_y < 390) { 
            _y += 4; 
        } 
    }
}

if you use MX you could determine the limits of how far the clip can move based on Stage.width and Stage.height (instead of hardcoded in the numbers)
