Hi, Wanna learn how to get angle of mouse its very simple.  
use this Script (copy and past in your file). A sample file which runs only on CS4 is attached.

//Start…  
// Make a line (o-----------------------) and take its left side as center named ‘mcArrow’  
mcArrow.\_x = mcArrow.\_y =200;

this.onEnterFrame = function(){  
//To make script easier we make ‘x’ and ‘y’ values of center of the stage ‘zero’  
xmouse=200-\_xmouse;  
ymouse=200-\_ymouse;  
//As we know that to get angle ‘Tangent’ is used (which is in radians) to convert it into degree it will be multiplied by 180/pi  
angle = Math.atan(ymouse/xmouse)\*(180/Math.PI);

```
if(xmouse&gt;=0){angle+=180}
mcArrow._rotation = angle;

```

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////  
// we know that in right angle triangle r^2 = x^2 + y^2  
r = Math.sqrt(Math.pow(xmouse,2)+Math.pow(ymouse,2));  
mcArrow.mcLine.\_width = r;  
}
