hey  
im been trying to make a stationary movie clip do a jump move to the top, slowing down, and then comming back down (like a ball being thrown vertically up) within a given number of frames, ie 10 frames.

Also i would want to add a horizontal vector quantity whereby if a key is pressed (ie left) then it would move horizontally left while still in jump mode.

Does an actionscript like this exist?? if so can someone please post it here?  
Thanks heaps in advance :pleased: :pleased:
