Odd. Is there any other code anywhere else? Any you might of done by accident?

[ChuklesDaClown]

Nope I am doing this to test it and see if it works it is a single frame singe layer with a movieclip and the code

Try creating a completely new AS2 document, make a new mc, and attach the code that you posted above to it.

Try putting this in the frame.

onEnterFrame=function(){
_root.object._x = _root._xmouse;
_root.object._y = _root._ymouse;
}

Well I got it to work in AS2 but anyone have any idea on how to give it a elastic movment ie when it follows the mouse it has the look of it being attached by a rubber band.
