Hi Everyone!

Please excuse me, im quite new to actionscript and so find myself struggling with knowing what to search for really.

While searching for some flash inspiration today, I came across this template design…

I really like the way that the circles follow the mouse to a point and then stop, I have searched all over the net for a way to do this but I dont know exactly what im looking for.

I found the Kirupa tutorial that shows a mouse follow with ease script that works almost in the way im looking for but due to my lack of AS knowledge, Im unsure how I would make the movie clip im animating stop at a certain X & Y of the stage.

Here is the code I think could be manipulated…

onClipEvent (load) {  
\_x = 0;  
\_y = 0;  
speed = 5;  
}  
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {  
endX = \_root.\_xmouse;  
endY = \_root.\_ymouse;  
\_x += (endX-\_x)/speed;  
\_y += (endY-\_y)/speed;  
}

Could anyone shed a little light on this?

Thankyou very much!
