Hi all, I’m a newbie to flash and I would like to make a mask / movie following the mouse movement but horizontally only. I have see how it’s done to follow the mouse, but I need it Horizontally only.

Thanks in advance

Make a movie… with instance name: mymc

Place it in frame 1  
Give the frame the following actionscript:  
\_root.mymc.\_x = \_xmouse;

Or for vertical following of the mouse  
\_root.mymc.\_y = \_ymouse;

Good luck
