Hey there!
I’m making a little bubble rollover effect, like this:
```auto
on(rollOver){
_root.bubble.gotoAndPlay(1);
startdrag(_root.bubble);
}
```
What I would to do, is to define a start position for the bubble mc regarding the mouse pointer, I know it’s possiable, but how!?
So that when I rollover anywhere in the “hit stage”, the bubble will appear, let’s say 2 pixels from the top of the pointer!
Any help would be NICE!
cheers \<:}

Yeah, THX m8!
This did the trick:
```auto
_root.bubble._x = _xmouse ;
_root.bubble._y = _ymouse ;
```
