alright i know i can tell a target to change it’s position on(press) of a button.

i would like to rewrite

```auto

on(mouseOver){
box._x+5;
}

```

so that you don’t have to keep putting the mouse on and off the button but you can just leave the mouse over the button and the object will move

i’m sure it’s a simple solution i’m just not thinking of at the moment, your help is greatly appreciated

thx
