movieclip follow mouse

[mattadams84]

Hi,

Is there anyway to make a movieclip follow the mouse. I have a menu, as a movieclip and when i roll over the menu i want something to pop up where the mouse is that says 'click & drag to scroll'

my main menu is called: container_mc
the movieclip i want to appear i have exported it for actionscript and is called mouseovermenu.

This is the AS3 i have so far:

container_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, onRollOverHandler);

container_mc.buttonMode = true;
container_mc.useHandCursor = true;

function onRollOverHandler(myEvent:MouseEvent){
var myPopup:DisplayObject = addChild(new mouseovermenu());
myPopup.x = mouseX;
myPopup.y = mouseY;
}

At the moment the pop up appears when i roll over but it dosnt follow the mouse. Also, i am getting more than one instance of the rollover movieclip appearing.

Can anyone help?

Thanks

Matt

container_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, onRollOverHandler);

container_mc.buttonMode = true;
container_mc.useHandCursor = true;

var myPopup:DisplayObject = new mouseovermenu();
myPopup.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, popupMouseDown, false, 0, true);
myPopup.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, popupMouseUp, false, 0, true);


function onRollOverHandler(myEvent:MouseEvent){
addChild(myPopup);
myPopup.x = mouseX;
myPopup.y = mouseY;
}

function popupMouseDown(e:MouseEvent)
{
    stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, popupMouseMove, true, 0, true);
    stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, popupMouseMove, false, 0, true);
}

function popupMouseUp(e:MouseEvent)
{
    stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, popupMouseMove, true);
    stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, popupMouseMove, false);
}

function popupMouseMove(e:MouseEvent)
{
    var p:Point = this.globalToLocal(new Point(e.stageX, e.stageY));
    myPopup.x = p.x;
    myPopup.y = p.y;
} 

Or look up startDrag and stopDrag functions... Depends on what else you want to do with it i guess...

try fixing this

myPopup._x;
myPopup._y;

or maybe this

myPopup._x = _root._xmouse;
myPopup._y = _root._ymouse;
