Hey, I’m trying to do the ease to effect where it slows down as it gets closer to the certain area. What i have is a white box with an instance name of nav. I have 5 buttons. When I click a button i want the white box to ease to these certain X, Y. So when someone clicks on 1 of the 5 buttons it goes to a certain X, y. Each of the 5 buttons takes it to a different location. I’ve tried a variety of actionscipting and each one is unsuccesful. How can I acheive this effect?

on your button:  
[AS]on (release) {  
\_global.tarX = 250;  
\_global.tarY = 150;  
}[/AS]  
where tarX,tarY is the target position of your mc, so you can change this for the other buttons.  
and on your mc:  
[AS]onClipEvent (load) {  
\_global.tarX = 50;  
\_global.tarY = 50;  
}  
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {  
this.\_x += (tarX-\_x)/5;  
this.\_y += (tarY-\_y)/5;  
}[/AS]
