hey,
i need a code that makes it so when i rollover a movieclip another movieclip moves in x or y direction. so say i have a box and a circle:
[] (). if i put my mouse over the box [] the circle () moves like this ()-->()
by changing the x position. i know how to make stuff move with key press's but was wondering if it was possible to put ur mouse over something and make another movie clip move. NOT the one i put my mouse over.. Please help, need desperatly for a game im making.
thanks in advance!

I would say make the rectangle (box) have an onrollover and rollout function that initializes the x and y positions of the mouse like so:

var mouseOn:Boolean = false;
var xi:Number;
var yi:Number;
this.onRollOver = function(){
  mouseOn = true;
  xi = _root._xmouse-this._x;
  yi = _root._ymouse-this._y;
}
this.onRollOut = function(){
  mouseOn = false;
}

Then make the onmousemove function check if the mouseOn if true, if so it should do something (move the circle xc-xi and yc-yi that way it will more the circle when the mouse is over the box but not when it isn't and will only move it relative to the mouse movement.

Go ahead and try to make this function yourself and I will help if you get stuck.

This script would go inside of the box mc.
