I need a mc to rotate to the mouse, now it works but only if its not in another movieclip, what i mean is i have a movieclip in a movieclip which will rotate when the mouse moves.

My script is on a mousemove Event.

Xd = \_root.cursor.\_x-\_x;  
Yd = \_root.cursor.\_y-\_y;  
radAngle = Math.atan2(Yd, Xd);  
\_rotation = int((radAngle_360/(2_Math.PI))+90);  
updateAfterEvent();
