yo flash masters  
im a bit of a newbee here, so pls bear with me…i got this MC (circle shape to be specific) that i want to move from the left corner to the lower rightcorner, that’d be diagonally, i tried to folow a tut here in the site below… …and i kinda experimented with it…but the thing is…

1. it goes from lower right to the upper left…which i can’t understand…
2. i dont understand what the difference is between "

onClipEvent (load) {  
this.\_x = 50;

and

onClipEvent (load) {  
\_root.targX = 50;

so i just tried mixing them up without knowing what’s happening…  
pls helpp…

	_root.targety = 400;
	this._x = 20;
	this._y = 20;
	_root.speed = 3;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
	if (this._x<=600) {
		this._x += (_root.targetx/_root.targety)*_root.speed;
		this._y += _root.speed;
