A little help please

[astro43]

I have learned to mask fairly, but have studied two different tutorials (which gives different instructions) on using mask to make a flashlight that follows the mouse. I just can't seem to do it. I can get the movie, but can't make it follow the mouse. Is there a simple way to do it so a nut like me can get this behind them? Thanks.

cuz if thats wut you mean, then just follow the tut on this site, if not then again, I'm sorry for wasting everyone's time.

That's very close. I found that tut on this site since I posted and learned that one.
Now if you didn't have the text and the mask showed a white circle against the black bkgd, then that would be what I was speaking of.
Thanks for your reply and you sure haven't wasted my time.

Hey!!! I found the tut for something close enough on this site and got what I wanted.
Thanks very much.
