now i know how to attach an mc to the mouse position and how to offset an mc to the mouse position. however i would like to make an mc lag behind the cursor. im guessing this is done by creating a var that reads a previous position. can anyone help me put this into practice?  
cheers very much

[AS]MC.onEnterFrame = function() {  
this.\_x += (\_root.\_xmouse-this.\_x)/10;  
this.\_y += (\_root.\_ymouse-this.\_y)/10;  
};[/AS]adjust the 10 to change easing.

```auto
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
	mouse_mc._x += (_xmouse - mouse_mc._x) / 10;
	mouse_mc._y += (_ymouse - mouse_mc._y) / 10;
}

```

something of this type?

edit: oh, no… not again 😃
