I know basic flash, and I found your tutorial pretty funny in fact. I enjoyed the steps, you could of been a tiny bit more explained but it was decent. A couple minor glitches.
1. If you pull her head completely down you 'break her neck'.
2. If you leave it moving after clicking it, it's head goes like, epileptic.

thx.
1. yep, if you pull it all the way down to bottom of screen flash draws the curved line with a small break in it. But doesn't hurt the bobble head any.

2. The epileptic thing is just an idle state instead of having the bobble head go completely still. It can be tweaked. It's in the ax and ay calculations. Math.random() + 5

Anyone else have trouble with this? I'm using Flash CS3, AS2 file and I end up with the neck on top of the face and no mouse interaction...

I believe you emailed me as well. You must give the bobble_head movieclip an instance name of 'bobble_head' in the properties panel. Without that step, the mouse code can not talk to the head =).
