Hey,

First off, lemme start by saying that this site is incredibly awesome. Every time I have a problem or wish to learn something in Flash I turn to [kirupa.com](http://kirupa.com). Thanks a lot!

Now for my problem. Have you ever played Madness? You know how, depending on where the mouse is, the hand rotates i.e. points at the mouse’s current position? Well, I want to learn how to do that. I’ve attached a short animation demonstrating what I want to be able to do (the arrow points at the mouse’s position, and then gun represents the movie clip that rotates) using a script provided by the kind soul who will be willing to help me.

Thanks again,
