Another camera-related AS question by VideoGuy, what a surprise!

I may have mentioned this in another thread somewhere, but I never got a real working solution for it. What I want to do is have my stage stop moving when my character gets close to the edge of a level, so it doesn't look like the level just...ends. Then I'd like the character to resume his normal position after moving away from the wall. I know there's something like this in FPA, and I move the _root around like Brad's mentioned before, so does anyone have any ideas for this?

Just got back on the internet after losing my access for a week. Read more on Random Discussion.

There are lots of possibilities.

One quick solution is just to put an object where you want the camera to stop, and if it hitests the camera, then stop its movement. You could use this for any sort of camera trigger.

Or, a better/more adaptable solution would be to calculate your level's start x/y coords and end x/y coords, then if your stage is half its width/height away from the start or end points, then stop scrolling. Something to that effect.
