    Mouse follower

    I am making a flash file that contains a simple circle as a symbol which contains a small dash at the 12 o'clock position. What I want is for the circle to rotate so that the dash always points towards the user's cursor. Is this possible? If so, could anyone help by telling me what ActionScript I need to write!

    Thanks!

    something like this?

    Code:
    onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
            myRadians = Math.atan2(_root._ymouse-this._y, _root._xmouse-this._x);
            myDegrees = Math.round((myRadians*180/Math.PI));
            this._rotation = myDegrees+90;
    }
    Your circle with the dash in it will need to be a movie clip, and you simply add this code to it.

    Also, make sure the registration point is in the middle of the clock, if you didn't already know that.

    PS: I'm pretty sure it has to be... because it rotates around the registration point.
