move object to x position of mouse

Hi,
I'm new to this forum and to flash. I would like some help with this.
I want an object to move with the x position of the mouse. Can anyone shed some light on this?

Thanks

Make sure your in advanced mode and use a list of actions element and set the property for the element to equal MouseX


There are at least two examples of this at

Thanks blanius,
I tried your solution, but I have not been able to figure out how to add the element I want to move with the mouse. The LET= command wants to see a variable not an element name. Any thoughts?

Use a "set property" rather than "let equal", from the first drop down choose your element, from the second choose "x position", from the third(bottom) choose "mouse'x'".

Make sure your element has properties.

Thanks zoranvedek,
That worked great. I had to set the time of the movie to less than a second to get the movement to be smooth. I supose I should put this in a child movie.
I whant to create something like this http://www.wireframe.co.za/default1.htm

Thanks again

That's a pretty cool effect they have there. You might be interested in this thread:

It's about a similar movement engine, check out Bret's(blanius) coding on the second example.
