Ok ok, i know i should know this but im having some dificulty with this…
I’m trying to make an Object (mc) move with Actionscript.
I know the formula on how to make an object go in a strait line, and even with acceleration, etc.
I want the MC to follow my mouse. And no like mouse trails, but like its walking towards it. =)
I just cant get it to work right… any sugestions?
if you give me a basic formula, i can probly figure out the rest.
Thanks!

lemme think…
ok basically, have the object start at one point,
then lets say, click another point, and have it move there.
That kind of thing.
I know how to make an object’s \_x = the mouse’ \_x etc, i want it to “dyanmically” move towards the cursor…
I dotn know how to explain it better… and if that makes no sense
then i’ll just have to move to tibet. hehe =)
