well, why do you have to make the mouse pan all the time? why don’t you only make the mouse pan when the space button is pressed? so if you want to move your mouse off the stage, you wouldn’t hold down space, and no one would pan unless they needed to, so it solves the 2nd problem too.

would it be easier to name the tile and bomb movies with x and y in the movie’s name ex: “tile_”+y+”_”+x, and “bomb_”+y+”_”+x, instead of using “tile”+level.getNextHighestDepth(), ?

(someone else made this suggestion to me and I found it usefull)

Using “tollerance”?

[code]

// panning level
level.onEnterFrame = function() {
tolerance = 10;
dontmove = false;
if ((_root._xmouse>Stage.width-tolerance) or (_root._ymouse>Stage.height-tolerance) or (_root._xmouse dontmove = true;
}
if (!dontmove) {
// pan right
if (_root._xmouseStage.width-pan_dist) {
level._x -= pan_speed;
}
// pan down
if (_root._ymouseStage.height-pan_dist) {
level._y -= pan_speed;
}
}
};

[/code]

I think it’s better than having an overall button that can cause problem with other buttons… ;) :)

Hope that’s what you need! :)

I don’t think I need to send you a new .fla, just replace the code with what I’ve done. I put it up here:

I’ve fixed the panning and the other problem, however it does now have a button across the entire stage, so it would look better with a custom mouse. :/
