need mouse trail (actionscript 2) with multiple images - troubled newbie...
hi all.
i humbly approach you again, apologizing for my stupidity... this dummie-newbie is still struggling with the same problem: i desperately need a mouse trail script, where 3 or more different objects chase the mouse in an elastic, smooth and bouncy manner - as if connected to it with a rubber band. i looked through all the mousetrailers in this site and about a dozen(!) others, with poor results: all mouse trailers, where multiple images/graphics follow the cursor are in flash 5 format or older and won't work in my main movie - i use flash mx 2004 7.02.
i saw that kind of trailer in a web page, and i know it's a really simple thing to do - if you just know how! so please, someone, if you can either point me to a site that has the thing, or paste me those actionscript lines + necessary info bits here, you'd be doing me a really big favor.
thanks, by the way, for this great site! it has been an important help in my first flash experiments.

yes, but i get an error message...
hi!
that's just it: i saw that page years ago, and now when i try to navigate back there the bastards have changed their site and gotten rid of the trailer... anyway, it was a simple trailer woth three figures, sort of stickmen trying to grasp the cursor. v ery nicely done...
i tried your script. i made a mc with 3 figures (fig1,2,3, but when i try to previwe the page it spat me this error message;
**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=trailer, frame=1:Line 20: Unexpected '}' encountered
}
Total ActionScript Errors: 1 Reported Errors: 1
thanks again,
mar
correction to the previous message
ok,
i opened my eyes and looked again- and took out the extra {. sorry - i didn't see it first and wondered what was the matter... :)
but still, problem: now the figures move as a packet, stiffly together, and not an elastic line! is it in the way i make the movie clip? how should i treat my three graphics?
thanks thanks thanks,
