How To Make A Mouse Follower With Easing

Today…I give my first tutorial… This is where you can find nice, practical tutorials…But here, I have more time to answer your questions!

On with the tutorial.

Step 1~ Firstly, make an MC (Movie Clip) and call it “follower”. Give it the instance name of “follower”.

Step 2~ Then draw something pointing to the right… >>>

Step 3~ Make another MC and call it ”mouse”. Give it the instance name of “mouse”.

Step 4~ Draw a dot or something…I just drew a dot

Step 5 ~ Put this code inside the frame:

_______________________________________________________________

Mouse.hide();
delay= 10;
mouse.onEnterFrame = function() {
    this._x = _root._xmouse;
    this._y = _root._ymouse;
};
follower.onEnterFrame = function() {
    dist_x = mouse._x-this._x;
    dist_y = mouse._y-this._y;
    distance = Math.sqrt(dist_x*dist_x+dist_y*dist_y);
    angle = Math.atan2(dist_y, dist_x);
    speed = distance/delay;
    xspeed = speed*Math.cos(angle);
    yspeed = speed*Math.sin(angle);
    this._x += xspeed;
    this._y += yspeed;
    this._rotation = angle*180/Math.PI
};
