It's really rather simple to do this. Just make a movie clip, and put it in your movie. Give it an instance name by double clicking it, then typing a name such as &quot;Follow&quot; into the text box where it says instance name. Then go to actions in the frame that the clip is in. Choose <font color=red>Drag Movie Clip</font> from the pulldown menu, enter your clip name with a slash in front of it, like /Follow and click <font color=red>Lock mouse to center</font>. Now, on that frame and the other frames following that keyframe, the movie clip will follow your mouse pointer. Simple as that. <p>Dan Crowley<br><a href=mailto:crow1126@bolt.com>crow1126@bolt.com</a><br><a href= in Verse</a><br>This is my poetry. It's good stuff!
