This is awesome! I can't wait to try!

its a simple error that anyone with actionscript knowloage could figure out

Yeah, well I don't actually know the first thing about ActionScript. I just steal other people's work and pretend I know AS.

EDIT: Okay, it works now, but say I want the cursor to pass behind another object. How would I make it go behind the object, instead of showing up in front of it. Simply putting the cursor on a lower layer doesn't seem to do the trick, and putting it inside a movie clip on a lower layer, and changing "root" to "this" doesn't seem to work either.

onClipEvent (load) {

depth = 61;

_root.effect.duplicateMovieClip("thing you want"+depth, depth);

_root["effect"+depth]._x = add x here._x;

_root["effect"+depth]._y = add y here._y;

depth2 = 62;

_root.effect.duplicateMovieClip("2nd thing you want"+depth2, depth2);

_root["effect"+depth2]._x = add x here._x;

_root["effect"+depth2]._y = add y here._y;

You get the general idea, you just spawn everything by AS and giving 'depth' any unique number lessthan than 100. I set up 2 for you, excluding the instance names and x/y co-ords.

Change the cursor code to;

onClipEvent (load) {

nmber = 101;

}

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {

this._x = _root._xmouse;

this._y = _root._ymouse;



nmber++;

_root.effect.duplicateMovieClip("effect"+nmber, nmber);

_root["effect"+nmber]._x = this._x;

_root["effect"+nmber]._y = this._y;

_root["effect"+nmber]._rotation = random(360)+1;

if (nmber>=159) {

nmber = 101;

}



}
