hey guys

i just read the tutorial on mouse follow with easing  
i’ve been trying to work on it … not that its that hard …  
but what i’ve been trying to do is to make an object get to the mouse with any easing … at a constant rate  
probably i’m skipping on some concept, but i’m gettin into line equations n stuff … which is makin the code really comlpicated and still there are some hiccups in the code

can anyone come up with a code in which there is no easing ?

```auto
onClipEvent (load) {
 _x = 0;
 _y = 0;
 speed = 5;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
 endX = _root._xmouse;
 endY = _root._ymouse;
 _x += (endX-_x)/speed;
 _y += (endY-_y)/speed;
}

```

in this code , division with the constant “speed” is what results in the easing  
but i’m talkin about the object approaching the mouse at a constant rate
