Hi. I have this movement, but for now it’s just working on click and I can’t seem to figure it out how to make it fluid and nice without clicking on it.

Here’s some parts of the code that I have so far. Thanks for the help.

selectStar = function(){  
cameraView.target.x = this.x;  
cameraView.target.y = this.y;  
cameraView.target.z = this.z;  
}

// this is the function for displaying the star onscreen  
displayStar = function(cameraView, focalLength){  
var x = this.x - cameraView.x;  
var y = this.y - cameraView.y;  
var z = this.z - cameraView.z;  
if (z \< 0){  
this.z += 5000;  
this.x = 1500-Math.random()\*6000;  
this.y = 0;  
x = this.x - cameraView.x;  
y = this.y - cameraView.y;  
z = this.z - cameraView.z;  
}  
var scaleRatio = focalLength/(focalLength + z);  
this.\_x = x \* scaleRatio;  
this.\_y = y \* scaleRatio;  
this.\_xscale = this.\_yscale = 100 \* scaleRatio;  
this.swapDepths(Math.round(-z));

};

// define array to hold the objects in the scene  
objectsInScene = new Array();

// loop through and create 6 stars randomly in the scene  
for (i=1; i\<=6; i++){  
attachedObj = theScene.attachMovie(“star”+String(i), “star”+String(i), theScene.depth + String(i));  
attachedObj.x = 250 - Math.random()_500;  
attachedObj.y = 0;  
attachedObj.z = i_500;  
attachedObj.onPress = selectStar;  
attachedObj.display = displayStar;

```
objectsInScene.push(attachedObj);

```

}

// function controlling the camera ease and all displaying  
// for objects in the objectsInScene array  
easeToTarget = function(){  
// ease each camera point to its target point  
cameraView.x += (cameraView.target.x - cameraView.x)/5;  
cameraView.y += (cameraView.target.y - cameraView.y)/5;  
cameraView.z += (cameraView.target.z - cameraView.z)/5;

```
// run the display function for each object in objectsInScene array
for (var i=0; i&lt;objectsInScene.length; i++){
    objectsInScene*.display(cameraView, focalLength);
}

```

};

theScene.onEnterFrame = easeToTarget;
