Hi Amjad,

you could use a method called easing to move your shapes, its more smoother and doesn’t increase file size by much.

1. Create a shape on stage, convert it to a movie clip symbol.

2. Go back to the main stage and give your shape an instance name of shape.

3. Now on the timeline where your box is, add the following code on the frame,

MovieClip.prototype.easeX = function(to){  
this.onEnterFrame = function(){  
this.\_x = to-(to-this.\_x)/1.1;  
if(this.\_x \> to-1 && this.\_x \< to+1){  
this.\_x = to;  
delete this.onEnterFrame

}  
}  
}  
shape.easeX(550); //this is the x value to which your shape moves to,

Now if you want to move the shape up and down, change all the x’s to Y’s.

Keep experimenting with it.

hope this helps.
