follow mouse code...?

[ome_lonst]

I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to make a symbol rotate in reference to the mouse position.
I know the follow_mouse code, but i am trying to make a dial that points to the mouse position, where ever it goes.
Hope someone can help. Thanks.

Make your dial an MC, and make sure it points to the right by default. Place this script inside the clip's actions:

onClipEvent(load){

	X = this._x;
	Y = this._y;

}
onClipEvent(mouseMove){

	Xm = _root._xmouse;
	Ym = _root._ymouse;

	Xdiff = Xm - X;
	Ydiff = Ym - Y;

	radAngle = Math.atan2(Ydiff , Xdiff);

	this._rotation = radAngle*360/(2*Math.PI);
	updateAfterEvent();
}

Hope this helps.

well that didnt seems to work. The MC spun around the mouse and i could not move the mouse on top of it.
Is there a way to make the dial spin in its place in reference to the mouse?

[pmineault]

Did you place the dial in the center of the MC?

Yeah, that works well, Thanks pmineault!

[ome_lonst]

yeah. thanks!
I guess centering it would help.
thanks again.
