controlling MC on behalf of mouse coordinates

[madsandersen]

Hi

I want to be able to diaply different frames of a MC depending on the mouse position.

Ie. mouse position (100,100) => my_MC.gotoAndStop(5)

Ive got the following script:

function GetCoordinates() {

CoordinateX = _root._xmouse;
CoordinateY = _root._ymouse;

trace(CoordinateX);
trace(CoordinateY);

}

GetCoordinates();


However this only diplays the mouse position once - I cant get the function to (when the mouse is moved) diaplay the new coordinates?

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Mads

hi Mads

_root.onMouseMove = function()
{
trace("_root._xmouse"+_root._xmouse);
}

This function might be what you are looking for.
