hey there i just finished this mouse following code that basically simulates a swarm of flies just make a small very small dot or fly either way name it bug\_mc and put the code on it:

```auto
 
onClipEvent(load){
 _x = 0;
 _y = 0;
 speed = 5;
}
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
 if(this._name =='bug_mc'){
  _alpha = 0;
 }
 else{_alpha=100}
 endX = _root._xmouse-25;
 endY = _root._ymouse-25;
 _x +=(endX-_x)/speed;
 _y +=(endY-_y)/speed;
 function rand(){
  randnum = Math.round(random(20));
  randnum2 = Math.round(random(20));
  return(randnum,randnum2);
 }
 rand();
 end2 = randnum;
 end3 = randnum2;
 _x+= end2;
 _y+= end3;
}
 

```

and put this on your frame:

```auto
 
i = 0;
onEnterFrame = function(){
 if(i<=50){
  i++;
  _root.bug_mc.duplicateMovieClip('bug'+i,i);
 }
}

```

if anyone needs any clarification or just wants to comment post away.:party:
