I have a movieclip that I am revolving around a specific point (planet around a sun)

At the moment I have the planet on a circular motion guide to emulate an orbit. Is it possible to take the planet out of orbit, whisk it away to a specific point on the stage using actionscript and then have it resume its orbit after a while or will this cancel the motion tween?

If this cant be done, does anyone know of a script that will move the mc in an orbit? I am having a lot of trouble doing this, that’s why I’m currently using a motion tween. A script that would do this would give me a lot more versatility.
