Hi All
Here is a Really simple Effect called "Text Mouse Trails" and as you move your Mouse around the text will follow.



1. open a new Flash Document and Copy & Past the code below into the first Frame of the Document ( Click on the First frame and press F9 t o open the Actionscript window ) and thats it

Code: Select all

Text = "Codenstuff.com the best site on the net!!!";
letters = Text.split("");
letterformat = new TextFormat();
letterformat.font = "Verdana";
letterformat.align = "center";
letterformat.size = "10";
spacing = 8;
speed = 3;
for (var LTR = 0; LTR<letters.length; LTR++) {
        mc = _root.createEmptyMovieClip(LTR+"l", LTR);
        mc.createTextField(letters[LTR]+"t", LTR, LTR*spacing, 10, 20, 20);
        with (mc[letters[LTR]+"t"]) {
                text = letters[LTR];
                setTextFormat(letterformat);
                selectable = false;
        }
        if (LTR) {
                mc.prevClip = _root[(LTR-1)+"l"];
                mc.onEnterFrame = function() {
                        this._x += (this.prevClip._x-this._x+5)/speed;
                        this._y += (this.prevClip._y-this._y)/speed;
                };
        } else {
                mc.onEnterFrame = function() {
                        this._x += (_root._xmouse-this._x+10)/speed;
                        this._y += (_root._ymouse-this._y)/speed;
                };
        }
}

**If you look at the text in the Code you can change, Speed, Size and what you want the Text to say, just change it all too suit how you want it to look.

Attachment below to show you what its like cooll;

enjoy
