Code...
CODE
onClipEvent (mouseMove) {
    x=this._xmouse;
    y=this._ymouse*-1;
    angle = Math.atan(y/x)/(Math.PI/180);
    if(x<0){angle+=180}
    if(x>=0&&y<0){angle+=360}
    _root.angletext=angle;
    _root.arrow._rotation=angle*-1;
    updateAfterEvent();}

Ya, just change out this._(x/y)mouse for _root.MOVIECLIPNAME and it should work the same way (as if the mouse were the movieclip, without makuing the mouse the movieclip)

Hope that helps.
