Hi, I made a code which gives function to an object follow the mouse within an specific area. I am very poor in English. So I can’t explain it more. Just check the code and try to improve it.

```auto
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
    if (bg_mc.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)) {
        positionX = _root._xmouse;
        positionY = _root._ymouse;
        circle._x = circle._x+(positionX-circle._x)/5;
        circle._y = circle._y+(positionY-circle._y)/5;
    } else {
        circle._x = circle._x+(bg_mc._x-circle._x)/5;
        circle._y = circle._y+(bg_mc._y-circle._y)/5;
    }
};

```
