I have learned to mask fairly, but have studied two different tutorials (which gives different instructions) on using mask to make a flashlight that follows the mouse. I just can’t seem to do it. I can get the movie, but can’t make it follow the mouse. Is there a simple way to do it so a nut like me can get this behind them? Thanks.

That’s very close. I found that tut on this site since I posted and learned that one.  
Now if you didn’t have the text and the mask showed a white circle against the black bkgd, then that would be what I was speaking of.  
Thanks for your reply and you sure haven’t wasted my time.
