Hi all, right I’m a bit stuck, I’ve got an image on a layer called background, an invisible movie clip called rippleArea, which is what I want the constraints to be and I’ve made a movie clip called ripple, what I want to do is when the user clicks the mouse I want ripple to play at the \_xmouse and \_ymouse co-ordinates. I’ve only got as far as setting the variables:  
mousex = “”  
mousey = “”  
position = “”

mousex = \_xmouse  
mousey = \_ymouse  
I’m a bit of a noob to actionscript so if anyone can help me I’d b most greatful 🙂
