Well as soon as you run it you will see that there is a divide by zero error. I have tryed everything I can think of to fix it and have had no luck. It seems to occer when the image is in the middle of the screen. Yes I could move the object from the middle of the screen but then there is other issues. If you could take a look at my file and tell me what I might need to do, it would be great. Thx

Well, I haven't really looked over your code, but perhaps you could use an if statement to say:
code:

if the_variable_you_are_dividing_by = 0 then
    %do the calculation only divide by 0.00000000000000001.  Close enough?
end if

That seems to have fix it. I had tryed that b4 but since it is a big eqn that the div was in I had put the + 0.0001 in the wrong place. Thanks for your help.
