Can you have two items follow the mouse?

I want to have one item moving with the cursor. The second MC to stay at its current y coordinate but move on the x to follow the mouse.

If you have a script, please post 🙂

Thanks.

\_xfollow\_mc.onEnterFrame = function(){  
this.\_x = \_xmouse  
}  
\_mousefollow\_mc.onEnterFrame = function(){  
this.\_x = \_xmouse  
this.\_y = \_ymouse

}
