follow mouse

[chiefmonkey]

I know it is easy enough to have an object follow the x position of the mouse but how do yo uget the movie clip to move in the oppisite direction from the mouse.

TIA

I made an example like this for the mouse trailer tutorial but never posted it:

My clip is 300px by 300px

// run away!
setProperty ("_level0.target", _x, 300 - _root._xmouse);
setProperty ("_level0.target", _y, 300 - _root._ymouse);

Loop that and the clip will do the exact opposite to the mouse. Change the 300 values to suite the dimensions of your clip.

Cheers
