Mouse Follow that does not start at (0,0)

programming flash
1

Based on the tutorial…

Mouse Follow with Easing

[color=black][font=Arial]I created this menu_follow.swf[/font][/color]

[font=‘Times New Roman’][font=Verdana][size=2]I’m using. [/size][/font][/font]
[font=‘Times New Roman’][font=Verdana][size=2]

 [/size][/font]
[font='Times New Roman'][/font] 
onClipEvent (load) {

			_x = 406;

			speed = 5;

}

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {

			endX = _root._xmouse;

			_x += (endX-_x)/speed;

}

When it loads and your mouse in not over the flash, it will start at x=406, but it quickly runs back to 0.

I want each item to be red depending on the page loaded. Is there a way that it can load in a certain position, then have it follow the mouse?

ok. i fixed it by setting up a variable to determine whether the menu’s been rolled over yet. i gave redbox an instance name. it shouldn’t be too hard to understand w/the comments. look at the AS in the buttons and the redbox MC.

Hello All,

I am new to this site and its a really cool and informative site.
When I download any .fla file, like the one above. I get an “unexpected file format” error, when trying to open it.
Can some one please tell me what I am doing wrong?
I am using FLASH MX2004 professional.
Thanks in advance!
