An hourglass with date follows mouse cursor

A member of the forum has issued a trouble from the following example.
It concerns an analogic hourglass (with date of current day) which follows mouse cursor.
This is not my work : I just have fixed up minor errors, so the whole stuff 'd work.

Different stages are gonna described right now.

Creating Object

1 - et up movie properties 720x540. Any background color.
Frame rate = 25.
In Movie Properties (CTRL J) , toggle Stop playing at end of movie

2 - Insert a dynamic text as followed :

texte horloge analogique

Convert to Movie Clip, named letter.

Script

In MovieClip letter, enter :

onSelfEvent (load) 
{
     // clock size
    clockDiameter = 80;
     // close position relative to mouse
    clockOffsetY = 0;
    clockOffsetX = 100;

    easingRate = 0.75;
     // date rotation rate

}

Et voilà! Change name of days and date format if you need them.
