OBJECT FOLLOW CURSOR ROTATION FLIPPING PROBLEM

Can anyone help me sort out a flip problem with an mc clip that follows the mouse and rotates towards the movement but flips awkwardly when you move the mouse again. here is the code

//Place this on the mc

onClipEvent (load) { //_x = 0; //_y = 0; speed = 6; area = 0; } onClipEvent (enterFrame) {

//attach mc to the pointer if mouse over the area if (area == 0) { this.play(); endX = _root._xmouse; endY = _root._ymouse; _x += (endX-_x)/speed; _y += (endY-_y)/speed;

//rotate MC to follow the mouse angle this.onMouseMove = function() { _rotation = (Math.atan2(_root._ymouse-_y, _root._xmouse-_x))*(180/Math.PI); ease = 3; }; } }

I’m a bit of a novice so I’m hoping it’s a line missing or so. I don’t know how to set up new functions.

Any help much appreciated.

I think you’re right. Only trouble is I don’t know how. I am hoping someone has a function code which will slot into the existing code and solve the problem…
