I have a movie clip that that I would like to appear and move with the mouse pointer like the hover caption tutorial on this site. It would be called from a rollOver exactly the same except there is one difference.

Rather than the caption being small it is quite large so I don’t want it to appear from where the mouse pointer is (because it would dissappear off the screen most of the time). I would like it to appear each time in the middle of the screen and then move from that point with the movement of the mouse pointer.

Does that make sense!!!??
