Re: FLASH: sprite (mc) following mouse

[Dorian Nisinson]

Hi Gilbert,

	Are you using Flash 3 or Flash 4? If it is Flash 4 you can make your MC

draggable and constrain to a rectangle that only allows movement on the

x axis. You can set the movie clip drag operation to lock to the center

of the mouse pointer. If you drag outside the movie area but still

within the browser the MC should follow the mouse pointer still as long

as you do not turn off make draggable.

	In Flash 3 it would be a lot more complicated.
