movement towards mouse

[TheDon2000]

I know how to get a movieclip rotate towards the mouse:

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
// Get the distance between current position and mouse
diffx = _x - _root._xmouse;
diffy = _y - _root._ymouse;
// Set rotation
_rotation=(Math.atan2(diffy, diffx)*(180/Math.PI))-90;
}

But my problem is how do I make it go only 120 degrees, where up is the center.

Can somebody help, please???

here is a help drawing.

simple just use IF statements .. say if math.abs(0-_rotation) > 120 make sure the code doesn't execute and put your roatation code block into the else.

simple just use IF statements to limit the code block from executing. say if math.abs(0-_rotation) {
} else {
//your rotation code block
}
