Hola! Does anyone know how to make a mouse follow, on a menu, on an x-axis, that snaps into place when the mouse is moved over certain menu buttons? I’ve created my own mouse follow that follows my mouse on an x-axis and is restricted to the menu area using the following code adapted from kirupa actionscript tutorial:

[AS]  
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {  
getlimits = \_root.menu.getBounds(\_root);  
speed = 5;  
//get the limits of the normal pic movie  
if (\_root.\_xmouse\>=getlimits.xMin && \_root.\_xmouse\<=getlimits.xMax && \_root.\_ymouse\>=getlimits.yMin && \_root.\_ymouse\<=getlimits.yMax) {  
this.endX = \_root.\_xmouse;  
\_x += (endX-\_x)/speed;  
}  
}  
[/AS]

This works find and I like the effect I get from this, but I would ultimately like the mouse follow to snap onto a certain point on a button when the mouse is over the button. When rolled on to another button, it’ll move to that button. Did I explain it clearly?  
Much thanks is advance.
