These circles will follow your mouse around with a nice elastic effect.
First create two Movie Clip; one is for the smaller circle you can see above and the other for the rest of the circles.
Drag the smaller on to the stage and give the instance name "circle1".
Now drag the other Movie Clip 4 times, each time make it bigger and give instance names, "circle2", "circle3", etc.
Put them together and they should look like this:
Every one of these instances will have code, but the only difference will be on a variable value. Paste this on all of them:
//on load declare variables
onClipEvent(load)
{
//starting xspeed, how much to move on the _x.
xSpeed = 0
//starting yspeed
ySpeed = 0
//This is the "real" speed, the bigger it is
//the slower the Movie Clip will move and vise versa
Speed = 40
//if it is too high the Movie Clip will move very slowly
//and wont have elasticity, is it too low it wonç¨
//stop. I recommend using 1.13, but you can try different values.
Stop = 1.13
}
onClipEvent(enterFrame)
{
//move the Movie Clip
_x += xSpeed
_y += ySpeed
//get new x and y speed, using the distance between the mouse
//and the Movie Clip and the actual speed.
xSpeed +=(_root._xmouse - _x) / Speed
ySpeed +=(_root._ymouse - _y) / Speed
//this decreases the speed, so it stops
xSpeed /= Stop
//if yspeed was equal to 10, after this line it will be 10/1.13 = 8.84
ySpeed /= Stop
}
Now change the speed variable for each Movie Clip:
circle1 = 40
circle2 = 45
circle3 = 50
circle4 = 55
circle5 = 60
Test the movie now. If you think the animation is too slow you need to increase the frame rate of you movie.
