Object Movement Relative to Mouse ?

[HEVNBND]

Hello, This is my first post here :cool: I created an line that has another one move over it based on the tutorial here (http://www.actionscript.org/tutorials/intermediate/object_movement_mouse/index.shtml). I have atached my .fla anyhow to the question.

How can i copy it in order to have two lines? I converted it into a symbol graphic so i could move it easier and when i copy and past another one the 2nd one appears but does not trace the mouse movement. Any help would be greatly appriative. Really like the look of the forum very proffessional! ;)

Stop bumping. These things take time, and people are doing their best to help you...

Man. I tried looking at your file, but it's so messy that I couldn't understand what you're trying to do, and what specifically are you talking about from all the things that don't work there. You'll have to make the file more "readable" for us to be able to help you.

I was very clear in my explanation i dont know what you mean other things don't work as i knew of nothing else that did not work.... here is an example of what i am trying to achieve. www.nikegolf.com The links between the two grey lines. The grey lines follow your mouse movement. As does one of the lines i have but not the other one...

You were on the right track...but you need to make the graphics into movie clips so that you can access your circle movie clips. Follow these steps:

1) Change the top bar to a movie clip, just click on it and go into the property inspector and click the pull down where Graphic is...and change it to MovieClip. Then give the top bar an instance name of circle1_mc.

2) Do the same for the bottom graphic bar that you have and give it a movie clip instance name of circle2_mc.

3) Next, add the ActionScript (in bold) to your header actions layer:

loadMovie("menu.swf", "menu");
onEnterFrame = function () {
circle1_mc.circle._x = _xmouse;
circle2_mc.circle._x = _xmouse;
};


If you have any questions or can't get it, I have your exact .FLA with those very updates I listed and I could email it to you, just let me know.
