Mouse Coordinates

[4zero4]

Anyone know how to grab the mouse coordinates and then display a movieClip exactly where those coordinates are when rolling over a button?

Also, is there a way where you could place the movieClip just a little off of those coordinates? say, maybe 50+/- pixels off of the y axis?





thanks.

_root._xmouse is the mouse x position
_root._ymouse is the mouse y position

Check the Flash reference for MovieClip._xmouse

Property (read-only); returns the x coordinate of the mouse position.

You coud read this value, assign it to a variable, add 50 to the value and you have an offset from the x coordinate of the mouse.

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
	this._y = _root._ymouse;
	this._x = _root._xmouse;
}

one problem tho, the MC keeps following my mouse. is there way to do a rollOut where it will stop?



thanks.
