New to Kirupa, Need help with shooter

Hi im new to Kirupa, and i have looked through the site but havn’t found much help on the (mouse angle shooter type game. I have the engine for the platforming but need help getting my character to follow the mouse.

The problem is that the code works if its on a movie clip. Not if its on a Mclip and in another Mclip.

Can you please share a code that works?

Thanx in advance
