hi there i hope someone out there can help… i tried the mouse trail tutorial [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/mousetrailer.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/mousetrailer.htm) and it’s not working for me once i change the wording… the mouse trail currently reads kirupa, i need it to read “madison eight” and i need the text to be white not black!.. so i went into the action script, i changed “kirupa” to “madison eight” (like the instruction specified) and when i tested my movie only MAD followed the mouse??? and i have no idea where to go when it comes to changing its color… someone HELP me please!
