Use geometry.

I'm just going to assume you're using Actionscript 2. Actionscript 3 should probably come with a similar approach but with slightly different syntax.

You have both the coordinates of your object and the mouse:
The object's coordinates can be called using objectinstancename._x and objectinstancename._y.
The mouse coordinates can be called using this._xmouse and this._ymouse Using a simple tangent rule (find some info on Math.tan in the first source) you could calculate the angle between the object and your mouse.

The next thing you'd have to do is use objectinstancename._rotation = angle to turn the object towards the proper angle. That's all!

Obviously you would have to redo these calculations every time the mouse moves, so wrap it up inside an onMouseMove event. (info in source 2)
