I have a question about the tween class. I’m looking for a way to get the current position of a movieclip, and fill it into a tween function.

For example:

> var xTweenMain:Tween = new Tween(main\_mc, “\_x”, Strong.easeOut, 0, -300, 1, true);

Now I have a movie clip that moved on the x axis from 0 to -300. Say I have a bunch of movieclips lined up on the x axis, and I want to click a button and have it know where it’s current position is. So that I don’t have a bunch of if statements for every button. It’s hard to explain. If I need to set up an example .fla I will.
