Follow Cursor Animation

[codynolen]

I'm trying to develop code for a single object to rotate on a 2-dimensional axis. I want the object to rotate in the direction that I move the mouse. For example, if my object were an eye - the pupil would watch the cursor move around the screen.

Here is where I'm at:

stage.addEventListener("mouseMove", arjun);
function arjun(e:MouseEvent):void
{
var var1=mouseY - eyeR.y;
var var2=mousex - eyeR.x;
var radiusR=Math.atan2(var1,var2);
var degreeR=radiusR/(Math.Pl/180);
eyeR.rotation=degreeR;

var var1=mouseY - eyeL.y;
var var2=mousex - eyeL.x;
var radiusR=Math.atan2(var1,var2);
var degreeR=radiusR/(Math.Pl/180);
eyeL.rotation=degreeR;
}

Hi.

If the objects are directly placed in the root, then the code could be something like this:

import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.display.DisplayObject;

function rotate(target:DisplayObject):void
{
	target.rotation = Math.atan2(mouseY - target.y, mouseX - target.x) * 180 / Math.PI;
}

function mouseMoveHandler(e:MouseEvent):void
{	
	rotate(eyeL);
	rotate(eyeR);
}

stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, mouseMoveHandler);

And please noticed that the artwork inside of the Movie Clip instance you want to rotate must point to the right (e.g.: =>);

Please let us know if you have any further questions.

Regards,

JC

Thank You for your time and response JC. Does this look right?
