Hello.  
I’m trying very simple, but I can’t get it to work:

Say I have a block mc, with a button next to it. If I click on the button, I want to ADD 50 units to the block’s x position. That’s easy, the problem is that the block shifts instantaneously, does anyone know how to tween that block from its initial state to its final state.

I can tween it using some script, but with that, I can only SPECIFY an x position VALUE, I only want to add units to the block mc’s x position.

What I want is something in the lines of the map on this site (click the buttons to scroll the map):
