Rotates to point at mouse?

programming flash

I was jusat sitting there one day and suddenly thought:

“I need to make a movieclip point towards the mouse!”

I have no particular reason to do this but I thought it would be interesting.

Could you set the rotation according to the mouses y position maybe?

Thanks

There is an open source example at moock.org
Check this link, http://moock.org/asdg/codedepot/ , and look towards the bottom in the section “motion > follow the leader”
