I am using some action script to move a group of images around the stage “onrelease” of a button, which all works really well, the code is attached to a movieclip and goes something like this:

onClipEvent (load) {  
\_x = 0;  
\_y = 0;  
div = 5;  
}  
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {  
\_x += (endX-\_x)/div;  
\_y += (endY-\_y)/div;

\_root.home.onRelease = function() {  
endX = 0;  
endY = 0;  
};  
\_root.works.onRelease = function() {  
endX = -250;  
endY = 0;  
Bla bla

Anyone know how i can achieve this movement without a button action ie: after mc loads it will move the movieclip every 5 seconds or so untill unload the movie

New to actionscript, so is there an easy way? Iam using MX

Many thanks
