Create a great looking masking effect

This tutorial details how to have an object follow the mouse on 1 axis only (not possible with the drag command). This gives the effect of it sliding across the screen. This can be done easily by making the x/y position of the object equal to the corresponding position of the mouse. However, to make the movement look more authentic, like it is following the mouse, not just always in the same position, you can add a small piece of code which makes it lag behind a little. The idea behind this is to make the new position of the object, half way between its current position and the mouse's. This way, the gap between them will always be halved.

In this tutorial we will be looking how to create a button with both the single click and double click functions. But wait I hear you say "Why do i need double click functionality? Web users are used to single click buttons." True, but as bandwidth increases and the power of both designer and Flash increase, we will be seeing more and more powerful flash movies like flashtyper and other online desktops. It's in this area of development where the double click functionality is very much a part of the furniture.
