K … I have a game and when my guy walks over a certain mc i want a certain object thats already on the screen to move 2 a specific point, like 56,13 or something… Ive read the turtorials for how 2 do it but nothing for that…

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {  
if(\_root.car.hitTest(\_root.finishline)){  
?  
} else {  
play();  
}  
}

i need some command to put there to make a specific MC move to a certain spot… any help…

Voetsjoeba’s code will work perfect for you:

in a frame put this:

```auto

MovieClip.prototype.easeXY = function(x, y) {
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
this._x = x-(x-this._x)/1.1;
this._y = y-(y-this._y)/1.1;
 
 
if (this._x>x-1 && this._x<X+1 this._y &&>y-1 && this._y<Y+1) p {<> this._x = x;
this._y = y;
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
};
};

```

and then in yout hitTest use this:

```auto

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if(_root.car.hitTest(_root.finishline)){
_root.whateverMCYouWantToMove.easeXY(56, 13)
} else {
play();
}
} 

```

Dude theres a mistake somewhere there… somewhere… as  
there is an error…  
heres the error it gives me

Scene=Scene 1, Layer=Layer 6, Frame=6: Line 7: ‘)’ expected  
if (this.\_x\>x-1 && this.\_xy-1 && this.\_y this.\_x = x;  
Scene=Scene 1, Layer=Layer 6, Frame=6: Line 12: Unexpected ‘}’ encountered  
};

this is wat i added to the frame just to show u…

MovieClip.prototype.easeXY = function(x, y) {  
this.onEnterFrame = function() {  
this.\_x = x-(x-this.\_x)/1.1;  
this.\_y = y-(y-this.\_y)/1.1;

if (this.\_x\>x-1 && this.\_xy-1 && this.\_y this.\_x = x;  
this.\_y = y;  
delete this.onEnterFrame;  
}  
};  
};

wats wrong

The if statement is totally messed up :

```auto

MovieClip.prototype.easeXY = function(x, y) {
    this.onEnterFrame = function() {
        this._x = x-(x-this._x)/1.1;
        this._y = y-(y-this._y)/1.1;
        if (Math.abs (this._x - x) < 1 && Math.abs (this._y - y) < 1) {
            this._x = x;
            this._y = y;
            delete this.onEnterFrame;
        }
    };
};

```

wow…yeah something got lost when I copied and pasted:

```auto
 
MovieClip.prototype.easeXY = function(x, y) {
 this.onEnterFrame = function() {
  this._x = x-(x-this._x)/1.1;
  this._y = y-(y-this._y)/1.1;
  if (this._x>x-1 && this._x<x+1 && this._y>y-1 && this._y<y+1) {
   this._x = x;
   this._y = y;
   delete this.onEnterFrame;
  }
 };
};

 

```

\*\*edit…everytime I copy and paste this…it cuts part of it out…any ideas why? this code is still wrong, but I can’t paste it in to make it stay right, I paste it and then when I post it…it cuts some out…the attached txt file is right, but I can’t post it here?

Weird,
