wow 


thanx a bunch Maltec


your a legend


i was along the right lines 

but now i can see exactly  how to go about it


hope you have a really good w.e


Actually the principle behind this is that you need to get the x and y's

of your mouse. As this is not directly possible we need to find a work

around. When you take a full screen button you can be sure it has a

rollover when the mouse is onstage. If you switch the button to

be draggable it moves with the mouse. So now you're able to get x and y of

the object which is moving just like the mouse as it's "sticked" to it.


(After reading the message again: You're using rollover on the full work

area. You don't need to click. The rollover is enough and certain).
