Generate easing using as

Hi all

I have a small mask that I need to animate across the stage in response to clicking various buttons. It has to go a different distance each time depending on which button is clicked along the x axis. I can get at the starting and ending x co-ordinates.

I need to develop a set of x cordinates so that the mask starts moving fast and slows down as it gets nearer - kind of like the easing effect. I figured using some sort of simple 1/x^2 expression and have spent an hour or so fiddling in excel. Trouble is its a LONG TIME since I did maths, and I can’t remember what formula to use. Have tried google with “parabola”, “simple curves” etc etc

I could do this by making a number of dummy mcs and puttin the mask in them as required, but would rather not if I can use AS

Any one got any ideas

thanks in advance
