Hi everybody

I’ve been surfing the net and suddenly i saw [www.IDream.com](http://www.IDream.com)  
A great site, very nice. And curious as I am I would like to know how you can make that preloader follow your mouse, and turn??

Thx

Hi

Just set your loader information within a clip and drag this clip with your mouse

Depending on what you need you have to use the \_rotation property or the \_xscale/y\_scale property for 2d Graphics

gessing your mc is named MC\_DRAG

[flash MX]

mc\_drag.onEnterFrame=function() {  
this.\_rotation++;  
}
