Hi all,

I’m trying to find a way to lock a MC (or any other instance) to a path.

Best way to describe what I want to do is … imagine there’s a drawn out rail track (the path), and at the press of a button a train (MC) will constantly move along the path until the button is pressed again.

Trying to code this within AS3 too.
