So i am starting university in late september (to learn 3d character animation) and need to get the grades to get in, sadly we have a flash programming unit in the college course im in now and we didnt get taught anything at all and i mean nothing, we were given printed sheets and told to copy the code word for word. so i really need help with my game. how would i make the movement of something my cursor? so when i move the cursor it follows it? also how do i play an animation on click?
My idea for the game is to have a rhythm style game where the player moves the net and catches the bee's, something i thought would be simple to figure out how to do ![]()
This is my game at the minute, ive used the code we were told to copy from sheets and just changed the sprites :\ any help would be amazing!

You should search Google for a tutorial. Try using search terms like "AS3 custom cursor tutorial" THat should help you with having something following the cursor. As far as clicking something to make something happen, I would bet even the printed sheets you were given will have enough information for you to work out such a basic functionality.

var distx:Number;
var disty:Number;
var momentumx:Number;
var momentumy:Number;
follower.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, FollowMouse)
function FollowMouse(event:Event):void {
// follow the mouse in a more elastic way
// by using momentum
distx = follower.x - mouseX;
disty = follower.y - mouseY;
momentumx -= distx / 3;
momentumy -= disty / 3;
// dampen the momentum a little
momentumx *= 0.75;
momentumy *= 0.75;
// go get that mouse!
follower.x += momentumx;
follower.y += momentumy;
