Hi there,

I am using the following code

```auto

motionMC.apply(text_mc,[100,1]);

function motionMC(endX,time) {
	var mcTween:Tween = new Tween(this, "_x", Strong.easeOut, this._x, endX, time, true);
};

```

But I want to control the start time as well with setinterval

I tried

```auto

anime1 = setInterval(text_mc, "motionMC", 1000,[100, 1]);

```
