I have a simple mc following the cursor using the basic

\_x += (\_root.\_xmouse-\_x)/speed;

with the speed set to 6…

When I play the file however, there’s a constant buffer between the cursor and mc. The two \_x positions never equal each other. I’ve scripted this before with no problems. Anyone run across this before?
