Hey, that may not be the only solution. Actually I just thought of

another one, taking from the Googly Eyes I have on nightwares. There's

no rotation going on with them, obviously -- I just orient the pupils

based on pointer loc onscreen.


Now it's possible that one could do something sililar with an eyeball,

making the iris and pupil two separate layers on top of the sclera, and

animate just the pupils and irises based on mouse loc.


Certainly in Director it'd be straightforward -- the work of about 10

minutes to code -- perhaps in F4 it's equally doable.
