Hi

I may be taking on too big a task here (especially since I’m not too familiar with flash), but here goes:

I want to have a menuitem approach the mouse pointer when you move the pointer towards it - is this possible?  
All I know is that it’s possible to have graphical items relate to the mousepointer, like in [this page](http://www.despairow.com/html/main.htm)

Any suggestions were to start to accomplish something like this?  
And for you sceptics out there, let me quote Locke from Lost: “Never tell me what I can’t do!”
