hi..

i want to create a shooting gallery type game but instead of having the "reticle" for my gun lock to the cursor position i would like to have it relative to a box at the bottom of my movie.

here is an example of how it would look :

right now when you click on the flash piece you can control the reticle with the arrow keys (something i want)

can someone point me in the right direction as to how i would make the reticle relative to mouse position within that box at the bottom (the little red dot would lock the cursor within that clip)

ive done a board search and worked a few tutorials and most of em deal with replacing the cursor, telling a MC to lock to the mouse cursor and locating the mouse position.

Anyone know of a tut or thread with something similar to what im describing? Later ill try and add some inertia and perhaps a gun that follows the reticleMC angle.

thanks for reading all that
