i got a MC that follows mouse movement with easing in y-axis.  
this is the MC actionscript:  
[AS]  
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {  
\_y += (\_parent.\_ymouse-\_y)/5;  
}  
[/AS]

but i only want it to follow the mouse only when the mouse is on top of this MC.  
using that script, the MC will follow no matter where i placed the mouse.  
can anyone help me to modify it?

</div>

this should do it:

[AS]  
//place this on the main timeline  
my\_mc.onRollOver = function(){  
my\_mc.onEnterFrame = function(){  
my\_mc.\_y += (\_ymouse - \_y)/5  
}  
}  
my\_mc.onRollOut = function(){  
delete my\_mc.onEnterFrame;  
}  
[/AS]

[AS]my\_mc.onRollOver = function() {  
this.onEnterFrame = function() {  
this.\_y += (this.\_parent.\_ymouse-this.\_y)/5;  
};  
};

[edit]

[AS]my\_mc.onRollOver = function() {  
this.onEnterFrame = function() {  
this.\_y += (this.\_parent.\_ymouse-this.\_y)/5;  
};  
};  
my\_mc.onRollOut = function() {  
var fY = this.\_parent.\_ymouse;  
this.onEnterFrame = function() {  
this.\_y += (fY-this.\_y)/5;  
};  
};[/AS]

That will give you a smoother onRollOut 🙂

```auto
my_mc.onRollOver = function() {
        this.onEnterFrame = function() {
                this._y += (_root._ymouse-this._y)/5;
        };
};
my_mc.onRollOut = function() {
        var fY = _root._ymouse;
        this.onEnterFrame = function() {
                this._y += (fY-this._y)/5;
                if(this._y>(fY-.2)) delete this.onEnterFrame;
        };
};

```

Please don’t use \_parent. Use \_root instead. What If the mc that folows the mouse is inside another mc?

Good catch [m], thanks 🙂 I just have a habit of not using \_root, but in this case it would actually be best to use \_root.
