mc._xmouse
Description
The floating-point _xmouse property indicates the horizontal location of the mouse
pointer’s hotspot, relative to the coordinate space of
mc.Ifmc is a main movie, _xmouse is
measured from the Stage’s left edge. If
mc is an instance, _xmouse is measured from the
instance’s registration point. To obtain a consistent
_xmouse coordinate that is always
measured relative to the movie in the Player, use
_level0._xmouse.
Example
Placing the following code on a clip causes it to follow the mouse pointer’s horizontal posi-
tion relative to the Stage (the clip moves left and right in a straight line):
this.onEnterFrame = function () {
this._x = _level0._xmouse;
}
