To do that, double click the frame rate and set it to 30.

The Movie Clips should be moving more smoothly now.

Code Explanation

onClipEvent(load) 
{
  xSpeed = 0
  ySpeed = 0

Two variable for the starting speed on the _x and _y coordinate.

Speed = 40 Speed used for an easing effect, the bigger it is the slower the Movie Clip will move and vise versa.

Stop = 1.13 Variable used to slow the Movie Clip down so it stops in the location of the mouse.

}
onClipEvent(enterFrame)
{
    _x += xSpeed
    _y += ySpeed

Move the Movie Clip.

xSpeed +=(_root._xmouse - _x) / Speed
ySpeed +=(_root._ymouse - _y) / Speed

Set new speeds using the distance between the current location of the Movie Clip and the position of the mouse divided by the "Speed" variable.

xSpeed /= Stop
ySpeed /= Stop
}

These lines decrease both speeds until it gets in the mouse position.

That's all folks! See you in next tutorial!
