No, the ball shoots...  but after it's in the air it will follow the

the paddle is when I click the left mouse button, but not until."

In the Ball Behavior (page 190) add a new property -- pActive
In the "reset me" handler (page 192) add the line
   pActive = False
In the "ON exitframe me"  handler add an if statement:
     ON exitFrame me
      if pActive = true then
                Rest of existing script
      End if
   END exitframe
Add a new "ON mouseUp me" handler
     ON mouseUp me
      pActive = TRUE
  END mouseUp
Is this what you want?
