An easy way to do this is to build your movieClip so that the graphics inside align in the upper left corner at (0, 0). Then take the width of your movie and divide it in half. If you take this half-width value and subtract it from your _xmouse then it should center your movieClip over the mouse horizontally. Do the same for the half the height of your movieClip subtracted from the _ymouse and your movieClip should be centered vertically.
Here is the equation, but you'll need to fiddle with the code a bit. mc._x = _xmouse - (mc._width/2); mc._y = _ymouse - (mc._height/2); Good Luck.
