hello all.

i have the basic idea of how to move objects around on the stage in flash 8.

mc\_line.onEnterFrame= function() {  
if(this.\_y \< 68){  
this.\_y +=5;  
};  
};  
i now need to understand/learn how to apply easing via action script. every tutorail i’ve seen is etiher too over the top or not what i’m looking for. i simply need to be able to apply easeIn and easeOut affects to my scripted animations.

for example, how would i add an easeIn and easeOut affect to the code above?

i’m a newbie when it comes to this action script thing.

cheers,
