## I have this code that will work … when attched to a movie clip … in Flash Player 6 or less BUT it will NOT work if the player is Flash 8.

onClipEvent(load){  
homeX = this.\_x  
homeY = this.\_y  
magnet = 5000  
}  
onClipEvent(enterFrame){  
x0 = this.\_x  
y0 = this.\_y  
x1 = \_root.\_xmouse  
y1 = \_root.\_ymouse

distancex = x1-x0  
distancey = y1-y0  
distance = Math.sqrt((distancex \* distancex) + (distancey \* distancey))

powerx = this.\_x - (distancex / distance) \* magnet / distance  
powery = this.\_y - (distancey / distance) \* magnet / distance  
forcex = (forcex + (homex - x0) / 2) / 1.66  
forcey = (forcey + (homey - y0) / 2) / 1.66  
this.\_x = powerx + forcex  
this.\_y = powery + forcey  
}

* * *

so what in this code fails under 8?
