How To Get Mouseposition

As Mouseposition Help
hi, i have been playing with some actionscript that makes a menu scroll up and down. The code works great apart from one thing, when it is placed into a webpage, straight away the menu scrolls up by itself, and will continue to do so until the cursor is over the flash itself. My question is how can i get it to only scroll the menu when your over the menu area itself within the flash. My code so far is as follows:


ActionScript Code:
// ---------------------------------------------
// Speed is INVERSE
// ---------------------------------------------
speed = 55;
drag = "/dragControl";
/:h = getProperty("/nav", _height);
// ---------------------------------------------
// line below controls invisible mouse scroll center point SET the number TO HALF OF THE HEIGHT OF YOUR MOVIE!
// ---------------------------------------------
/:yPos = getProperty(drag, _y)-80;
/:xPos = getProperty(drag, _x);
// ---------------------------------------------
// adjust for Speed
// ---------------------------------------------
setProperty("/nav", _y, getProperty("/nav", _y)-(/:yPos/speed));
// ---------------------------------------------
// see if we're run out of menus either up or down
// ---------------------------------------------
if (Number(getProperty("/nav", _y))<Number(-(/:h/2))) {
    setProperty("/nav", _y, 0.01);
} else if (Number(getProperty("/nav", _y))>0) {
    setProperty("/nav", _y, -/:h/2);
}

as always any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks

Making The Carousel Move On Click Instead Of Mouseposition
I realize there have been a lot of questions asked about the Carousel tutorial. It is a great tutorial and I really enjoyed going through it. What I am trying to accomplish right now is to have the Carousel stationary, until one of the icons is clicked. Once it is clicked, the Carousel spins around until that icon is at the front, then information will be displayed and the user has an option to contiune with the selection of this icon, OR click on a different icon, at which point the Carousel will spin to that icon.

I've read all of the posts I could find on the Carousel in the forums here, but came up empty handed. If someone could point me in the right direction I would be very greatful. Thank you.
