this is what I want to achieve

[sjh]

Hello
This is what I'd like to achieve: http://www.cat-creative.net/maukie2.swf (but using my artwork)
I'm not sure I'm going about it the right way. I'm assuming this is done on button symbol but I've only manage to achieve one movement.
Would appreciate being pointed in the right direction (like how was this achieved?
I'm using Macromedia flash.
many thanks
SJ

Hello
Flash mx 2004

I will try to explain it here, here is the code :

Code: Select all

function rolling() {
    rotations1 = (Math.atan2(_root.eye._y-_root._ymouse, _root.eye._x-_root._xmouse)/(Math.PI/180));
    rotations2 = (Math.atan2(_root.eye2._y-_root._ymouse, _root.eye2._x-_root._xmouse)/(Math.PI/180));
    _root.eye._rotation = rotations1;
    _root.eye2._rotation = rotations2;
    updateAfterEvent();
}
_root.onMouseMove = rolling;

create two symbols like eyes and name them eye and eye2, then put this code on first frame of the movie.
I think this will work
I will try to put swf file to help u understand it clearly.
Regards
