I have done the tutorial ‘Movement Using ActionScript’ which is just what I was looking for. However, I want an object get to a certain location on the stage ie 200 pixels across, then come back the other way. I have had a go myself but failed miserably.
I am very new to ActionScript so I have no idea how to do this. Can anyne please help me out???
Thankyou very much.

Ofcourse just tell me, you want to move it 200 pixels to the left or at the 200 pixel on the screeen?
