I need to move a movie clip with action script. I am not sure how to do it. I am writing action script to one of the layers and calling my movie clip “bird”. I want to move the clip in a wave motion(like a sine wave). I am using the bird.\_x and bird.\_y and setting them equal to a variable. But the \_y part of it is not moving. The movie clip is only moving from right to left and there is no upward or downward movement. I am stuck and would appreciate any help.

Thanks,  
edo :huh:
