geez...tagteamed against me...I mean the thing where there is a movie clip in another and the one inside changes x while the outer one rotates.
I'm sorry, Klaus, maybe I misunderstood it, but that's how it sounded to me. Just a little overcomplicated (no need to triple-team me : (
Also, darkd00m, I was wondering when someone would comment on confusing trigonometry. In this case, my equation makes a right triangle where the hypotenuse (longest side) is a line from the object to the mouse. Then, by using inverse (arc) tangent and dividing one side by the other, I find the angle nearest the object and that tells me how to rotate it.
Sorry if that's still confusing!
