An arrow or something that moves as a button is rolled over?

I am sure this has been covered before but i cant find one.

Basically a graffic or movie that moves with easing as a menu pointer?

is there a fla?

```php
 
on (rollOver) {
	yourMovieClip.play();
}
on (rollOut) {
	youMovieClip.stop();
}

```

i think that’s right…

I think what he/she is after is having an object follow where the mouse goes over the buttons…maybe? If so, i use this for my own site, i have forgotten where i got this code, but here it is:  
[AS]  
onClipEvent (load) {  
\_x = 345;  
div = 8;  
endX = 345;  
// This value just determines the speed  
// the transistions.  
}  
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {  
\_x += (endX-\_x)/div;  
\_parent.btn1.onRollOver = function() {  
endx = 345;  
};  
\_parent.btn2.onRollOver = function() {  
endx = 385;  
};  
}  
[/AS]
