3D Text effect Mouse Tracking script

[Zinger1]

Can you pliz help me with a script to make this effect? the 3D text effect that follows with the mouse.

i got a script that tracks the mouse till the end of the screen but i needed something like this that only tracks it slightly. i'm only a beginner in flash. Thanks a lot. I appreciate it.

if you already have an exmaple running which tracks the mouse position you will be accessing mouseX and mouseY simply divide these values by a number to reduce the amount of tracking.

e.g.

rotationX = mouseX;

becomes

rotationX = mouseX / 2;

can't really be more helpful without code

Put all your texts into one movie clip and then rotate that based on mouse position. mouseX controls rotation on Y and mouseY controls rotation on X.

Here's an example - start a new movie - add an image on stage, turn it into a movieClip (make sure the reg point is on center, not upper left) and give it an instance name of bg.

Add this code to frame 1:

addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, update);

function update(e:Event):void

{

    bg.rotationY = (275 - mouseX) / 30;

    bg.rotationX = (200 - mouseY) / 50;

}

This assumes the movie is 550x400 - so center is at 275,200

I did not realize you had crossposted this.  If I had I would not have wasted my time trying to help. Please don't crosspost.
