Mouse follow without easing

1

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 ?

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

It’s simple if you know your math!

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

Really that’s all.

the thing u’re missing there is that is doesnt “go” to ur mouse , the object simply takes the same co-ordinates as ur mouse
what i’m talkin about is making the object travel , with a speed factor that can be controlled , but the approach shud be at a constant rate
