My guess would be these lines: var xdiff:Number = _root._xmouse-this._x; var ydiff:Number = _root._ymouse-this._y;
Unless the center of your holder mc is at (0,0), then your code will be off. Try changing this._x to _parent._x and the same for the _y. You could also build a more flexible version using the localToGlobal function. That would allow you to nest the arrow clip as much as you want. -- ~Trout http://www.amongtrout.com On 1/31/06, Flash guru <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hey all, > > Simple question that I just don't get.
