Hey Everyone, I wasn’t really sure where to post this so I am posting it here :-\ This is an effect I did in Flash MX that is a copy off of [http://www.h69.net](http://www.h69.net) . It is a close rendition of their mouse follower object, I just wanted to see if I could do it because I thought it was an interesting effect 🙂 I spent very little time on this so it is still a bit buggy, and definite NOT optimized to any point…LOL, but here is what I have so far 🙂 [swf=“[http://8ballcreations.com/lostinbeta/experimental/bracketease.swf](http://8ballcreations.com/lostinbeta/experimental/bracketease.swf) height=300 width=300”][/swf] Let me know what you think 🙂 Good replica? Bad Replica? Stupid Piece of worthlessness? Any opinions are welcome :beam: ---

Thanks Kirupa 🙂 The text that appears when you hold the mouse down is actually dynamic and typed through AS, I started that because I think I am going to attempt to have user inputted text or text over certain links or such, I am not 100% sure if I am going to try that or not. ---

Original on h69s part at least 😛 It has a lot of original possibilities though if you have a good enough imagination 🙂 ---

Thanks guys 🙂 Morse: Do you mean did I get this as open source or am I going to make it open source? Well if it is the first… then no, this is from complete scratch… File/New 🙂 If it is the second… then… probably not :-\ It isn’t optimized yet (I suck at that) and the fact that I completely ripped the effect from someone else kinda keeps me from being able to release it as open source of my own I think. ---

Morse: As Mdipi said… the elasticity I used was what I learned from [http://www.bit-101.com/](http://www.bit-101.com/) a while ago. Mdipi: Jubbas tutorial is awesome 🙂 Jubba: Your tutorial is awesome 🙂 ---
