i have been trying to figure out how to make an object move when its moused over.  
once moused over, i would like for it to move with an ease (penner), but once the mouse is off the object, i would like it to ease into a dock position.

i have been using penners code…

[COLOR=“DarkRed”]function glideToMouse () {  
this.\_x += (\_parent.\_xmouse - this.\_x) \* .2;  
this.\_y += (\_parent.\_ymouse - this.\_y) \* .2;  
};

this.onMouseMove = function () {  
this.onEnterFrame = this.glideToMouse;  
};[/COLOR]

but this works for where the mouse anywhere in the movie. i only want the object to move when it is moused over.

hope this makes sense.

thanks,

paul
