Any visual object on stage are represented by x and y coordinates. This tutorial will show you how to create some object which will follow a mouse moving, using action script.



Step 1

Create a new flash document, draw some object or import any picture (Ctrl+R - Import to Stage), select it and press F8 on the keyboard (Convert to Symbol) to convert it into a Movie Clip.

 





Step 2

While your object is still selected, open the Action Script Panel (F9), and paste this script:

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

Test your movie (Ctrl+Enter)

We're done!

Bye!
