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

[AS]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;  
}[/AS]

Anyone know how i can achieve this type of movement without a button action ie: after mc loads it will move the movieclip every 5 seconds or so to a specific position (6 in total) with an easing effect.

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

Many thanks
