onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
dtx=this._x
dty=this._y
distX=_xmouse-dtx;
distY=_ymouse-dty;
if(distX<0){
	distX=distX*-1;
}
if(distY<0){
	distY=distY*-1;
}
total=(distX+distY);
//trace("total "+total);
partX=distX/total;
partY=distY/total;
//hittest
if(distX<10 and distY<10){
	_root.textbox.text="boom";
	stop();
}
if(_xmouse>this._x){
	dtx=dtx+(partX*10);
}else{
	dtx=dtx-(partX*10);
}
if(_ymouse>this._y){
	dty=dty+(partY*10);
}else{
	dty=dty-(partY*10);
}
this._x=dtx;
this._y=dty;
}
