</div>

\*\* mouseInterval = setInterval(changeAlpha,10);

function changeAlpha() {  
contact\_mc.\_alpha = Math.round(\_root.\_xmouse/1024\*100);  
contact\_mc.\_x = Math.round(\_root.\_xmouse);  
}

\*\*This is the code, but I wish to manipulate the x\_mouse so that it inverts the value of X, thus making the button in this case move towards the mouse when I move the mouse towards the button,t, and away from the mouse when I move the mouse away from it…  
It should also go more opeqe when I move the mouse towards it, but It seems that it should be the same logic.  
Thanks in advance, dear Dudes! 🅱
