This…

Movieclip.prototype.elasticMove = function(target, accel, convert) {  
step = step \* accel + (target - this.\_x) \* convert;  
this.\_x += step;  
}

is the code in the actions layer

This

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {

```
elasticMove(_root.newX, 0.7, 0.3)

```

}

onClipEvent(load){  
\_root.newX= 303;  
}

is the code on the mvie clip to relocate it on the x axis. A button would specify a new x position with this code  
on(release){  
\_root.newX=960;  
}

So I’m wondering how I can make it so this code also moves the movie clip on the y axis so i can have a diagonal move.  
Any takers?
