How Do I Get The Camera To Follow The Mouse?

In my project, I'm trying to make the camera follow an actor that is following the mouse without having to click. I'm able to get the actor to follow the mouse, but once the actor goes outside of the camera bounds, it becomes offset with the mouse. What do I do???

Place a Control Camera behaviour in the actor.
Not 100% sure what 'it becomes offset with the mouse' means, but you might want to reduce the camera tracking area.
What I mean is that once the actor reaches the boundaries of the camera's tracking area, it doesn't stay with the mouse, it stays along the boundaries of the camera tracking area. I'm not exactly sure if what I said is any clearer, so I'll try and rephrase as needed.
Sorry, I'm still not 100% sure what you mean !
Personally with these kinds of questions I'd avoid using 'it' and always state the thing you are referring to, it helps clarify things somewhat. So for example I'd say "What I mean is that once the actor reaches the boundaries of the camera's tracking area, the actor doesn't stay with the mouse, the actor stays along the boundaries . . . " But that's just my personal preference, other people are better at interpreting these things (I get easily confused! 
).
Can you do a screen recording of the issue ?
Sorry, I don't have any recording software, but luckily I was able to find a solution on YouTube. Thanks for the help anyways!
No problem, by the way OSX has built in screen capture, just launch Quicktime player and choose New Screen Recording.
@TheGreenBlaze - I'm curious what solution you found on YouTube.
I watched a couple different videos and combined what I had learned from them
