in my never ending quest to completel every tutorial here at kirupa i stumbled upon probably a really easy to solve problem… but heres what it is  
i have one frame… and the code below is whats on the frame… the action isnt on any particular thing… i dont know if it should be… i just applied to to the frame  
also i have an x box and a y box… both dynamic text boxes labeled with the appropriate variables… i think… hmm any ideas as to why the values just stay at 0 the whole time?  
thanks in advance

```php
xval = _root._xmouse;
ycal = _root._ymouse;

```
