ok i am using the followin action script and while i can copy and paste assign it to a movie and such beyond that i am action script illiterate so help would be greatly appreciated is there a way i can make this ripple not loop, and as the mouse drags across the movie a new ripple start like a tail kinda::

xripple = 75;
yripple = 60;

Movieclip.prototype.Circle = function ( tl_x, tl_y, br_x, br_y, th, is_shadow ){
this.lineStyle();

var colors = [ 0xFFFFFF, 0, 0xFFFFFF ];
var alphas = [ 0, 10, 0 ];
var ratios = [ 0xBF, 0xDF, 0xFF ];
var matrix = { matrixType:"box", r:0 };
matrix.w = br_x-tl_x;
matrix.h = br_y-tl_y;
matrix.x = tl_x;
matrix.y = tl_y;
this.beginGradientFill( "radial", colors, alphas, ratios, matrix );

var mx = ( tl_x + br_x ) / 2;
var my = ( tl_y + br_y ) / 2;
var cx = (br_x - tl_x) * .022;
var cy = (br_y - tl_y) * .022;
this.moveTo ( mx, tl_y );
this.curveTo ( br_x-cx, tl_y+cy, br_x, my );
this.curveTo ( br_x-cx, br_y-cy, mx, br_y );
this.curveTo ( tl_x+cx, br_y-cy, tl_x, my );
this.curveTo ( tl_x+cx, tl_y+cy, mx, tl_y );
tl_x += th;
tl_y += th;
br_x -= th;
br_y -= th;
this.lineTo ( mx, tl_y );
this.curveTo ( tl_x+cx, tl_y+cy, tl_x, my );
this.curveTo ( tl_x+cx, br_y-cy, mx, br_y );
this.curveTo ( br_x-cx, br_y-cy, br_x, my );
this.curveTo ( br_x-cx, tl_y+cy, mx, tl_y );
this.endFill();
}

for (var i=1;i<=4;i++){
image.duplicateMovieClip("img"+i,i);
createEmptyMovieClip("msk"+i,i+10);
createEmptyMovieClip("shw"+i,i+20);
img=eval("img"+i);
msk=eval("msk"+i);
shw=eval("shw"+i);
img.setMask(msk);
img._x=image._x-4; img._y=image._y+2;
shw._x = msk._x=xripple;
shw._y = msk._y=yripple;
r = 140 + 40 * (i % 2);
msk.Circle( -r,-r,r,r,50 );
shw.Circle( -r,-r,r,r,50 );
}

onEnterFrame = function() {
shw1._yscale = shw1._xscale = msk1._yscale = msk1._xscale = (msk1._xscale + 1.6) % 100;
if (msk1._xscale >25 ) img1._alpha = (100 - msk1._xscale) * 4 / 3 else img1._alpha = msk1._xscale * 4;
shw1._alpha = img1._alpha;

shw2._yscale = shw2._xscale = msk2._yscale = msk2._xscale = (msk1._xscale + 25) % 100;
if (msk2._xscale >25 ) img2._alpha = (100 - msk2._xscale) * 4 / 3 else img2._alpha = msk2._xscale * 4;
shw2._alpha = img2._alpha;

shw3._yscale = shw3._xscale = msk3._yscale = msk3._xscale = (msk1._xscale + 50) % 100;
if (msk3._xscale >25 ) img3._alpha = (100 - msk3._xscale) * 4 / 3 else img3._alpha = msk3._xscale * 4;
shw3._alpha = img3._alpha;

shw4._yscale = shw4._xscale = msk4._yscale = msk4._xscale = (msk1._xscale + 75) % 100;
if (msk4._xscale >25 ) img4._alpha = (100 - msk4._xscale) * 4 / 3 else img4._alpha = msk4._xscale * 4;
shw4._alpha = img4._alpha;
}

stop();

If you look in the tuts at the top of this page, find one for a mouse trailer. (One of those kind that follow a mouse curser around.) Then make the mouse trailer the ripple.

This is did while messing around at lunch. You can put in your actionscript in but it is very cpu intensive.

ok all these teach me how to do is make a movie or and object follow my mouse i need the as to follow it

I am not sure I follow the question, but the actionscript is in the fun file.
