Hello,

I currently have a flash chatroom up and running but there is a minor snag. The only way I can explain is through demo. See: [http://sonolin.homelinux.org:1337/](http://sonolin.homelinux.org:1337/)

EDIT: I made a very short video for those who do not wish to log into the chatroom - it shows the problem clearly. Loc: [http://sonolin.homelinux.org/media/pkchat/movement\_problem.avi](http://sonolin.homelinux.org/media/pkchat/movement_problem.avi)

Go in chat and click anywhere on screen. You will see the sprite move as the client describes “along a train track”. How can I just make the sprite move directly towards a point upon mouse click?

Thank you. It is probably very simple indeed I’m just not in a math thinking mode right now ;).
