Hello everybody. Here is my problem. In attached file I have square that moves through the entire page. I used an example of the square that was posted on this website as tutorial. I was woundering if anybody knew if I am able to stop this square at certian places with actionscripting. For example x=397 and y=123. Thank you very much for the help.

you can use easing for example:

select ur movieclip open the actions panel and paste this code

onClipEvent (load) {  
speed = 5;  
targetx = 397;  
targety = 123;  
}  
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {  
this.\_x += (targetx-this.\_x)/speed;  
this.\_y += (targety-this.\_y)/speed;  
}

hope that helps
