getting at individual x, y, z values

[andrew]

I'm sure this is something very basic but what lingo would I use to stop an
object.once it's reached a certain point on a particular axis. For instance,
if I have a car that's moving along a track and I want to prevent an
attached camera from moving too far up or down along the y axis. How would I
say:

if yAxis > 200 then
do nothing

Nothing seems to be working for me.

You NEED to give the help file's 3D section a good read. Just writing yAxis is too vague. The yAxis of what? How can director figure out you mean the camera?

One of the ways oculd be:

if sprite(1).member.camera[1].transform.position.y > 200 then
do nothing

This, and you can not tell a computer to do nothing. You can tell it to not
do something. This would make more sense to a computer:

if sprite(1).member.camera[1].transform.position.y < 200 then
do something
