onClipEvent (load){  
\_x = 0;  
speed = 8;  
}  
onClipEvent (enterFrame){  
endX = \_root.\_xmouse;  
\_x +=(endX-\_x)/speed;  
}

that’s my code for my movie clip to follow the mouse ( i actually use it for navigation purposes)…but the fault is it follow the mouse all over the screen (well only on the x- axis) … i only want it to be over the nav , indicating what button ur on…how would i do that and have it stay on the button that i have clicked??
