Question

I am using Action Script 3.0 to animate an instance (MovieClip class) to follow the mouse positron the thing is, the left corner of the instance follows the mouse courser. Now there is a cross on the to left corner and my guess would be that the mouse follows that cross, but i can not change the position of the cross within the instance/ original object.
Does anyone know how to make the center of that instance follow the mouse cursor?
Thank You all for ANY help on that topic.

I use this code.

import flash.display.Shape;
import flash.events.Event;


var easing:Number = .25;                    // inching coefficient

var sp:Shape = super.addChild(new Shape()) as Shape;        // draw circle
sp.graphics.beginFill(0x0,.6);
sp.graphics.drawCircle(40,40,40);

sp.x = super.stage.stageWidth - sp.width >> 1;
sp.y = super.stage.stageHeight - sp.height >> 1;

super.stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, update, false, 0, true);

function update(e:Event):void
{
    var targetX:int = super.stage.mouseX - (sp.width >> 1);
    var targetY:int = super.stage.mouseY - (sp.height >> 1);

    sp.x += (targetX - sp.x) * easing;
    sp.y += (targetY - sp.y) * easing;
}
