wow nice tutorial very explanatory

[Truthiness231]

Yeah that's the way I learned to do it. Saves sooo much time when making crosshairs to just save that snippet in ASExpander as &crosshair, turning this 6 minute long tutorial into something that can be done in just a few seconds ^.^ (workflow speed FTW)

Mouse.hide();

var lineX:linex = new linex();

var lineY:liney = new liney();

addChild(lineX);

addChild(lineY);

stage.addEventListener(MouseEv­ent.MOUSE_MOVE, track);

function track(e:Event):void{

lineX.y = mouseY;

lineY.x = mouseX;

}
