Hey, im trying to make a game like Heli attack 2 and I was wondering how to make the gun point in the direction of the mouse. Im using the code:  
onClipEvent(enterFrame) {  
rx = \_root.\_xmouse;  
ry = \_root.\_ymouse;  
cx = this.\_x;  
cy = this.\_y;  
angle = Math.atan2(ry-cy, rx-cx)/(Math.PI/180)  
\_rotation = angle  
}

This works in a regular instance, but im trying to use it in an instance inside a movie clip. Ive tried so many things, but when I use this code in the instance inside the movie clip, it screws up badly. Could anyone help?
