menuSlide on all axis

programming flash
1

i trying to use the menuslide tutorial because it looks like it is the closes thing to the effect that i am after to move the object on all points rather than the x or the y but both so that you could have say two row and six content.

 
var currentPosition:Number = contentHold.content1._x;
var currentPosition1:Number = contentHold.content1._y;
var startFlag:Boolean = false; 
menuSlide = function (input:MovieClip) { 
if (startFlag == false) { 
  
startFlag = true; 
  
var finalDestination:Number = input._x; 
var finalDestination1:Number = input._y;
var distanceMoved:Number = 0; 
var distanceToMove:Number = Math.abs(finalDestination-currentPosition)+(finalDestination1-currentPosition1); 
var finalSpeed:Number = .3; 
var currentSpeed:Number = 0; 
var dir:Number = 1; 
  
if ((currentPosition<=finalDestination)+(currentPosition1<=finalDestination1)) { 
dir = -1; 
} else if ((currentPosition>finalDestination)+(currentPosition1>finalDestination1)) { 
dir = 1; 
} 
  
this.onEnterFrame = function() { 
currentSpeed = Math.round((distanceToMove-distanceMoved+1)*finalSpeed); 
distanceMoved += currentSpeed; 
contentHold._x += dir*currentSpeed;
contentHold._y += dir*currentSpeed;
if (Math.abs(distanceMoved-distanceToMove)<=1) { 
contentHold._x = maskMovie._x-currentPosition+dir*distanceToMove; 
contentHold._y = maskMovie._y-currentPosition1+dir*distanceToMove; 
currentPosition = input._x; 
currentPosition1 = input._y;
startFlag = false; 
delete this.onEnterFrame; 
} 
};
} 
}; 
b1.onRelease = function() { 
menuSlide(contentHold.content1); 
}; 
b2.onRelease = function() { 
menuSlide(contentHold.content2); 
}; 
b3.onRelease = function() { 
menuSlide(contentHold.content3); 
}; 
b4.onRelease = function() { 
menuSlide(contentHold.content4); 
}; 
b5.onRelease = function() { 
menuSlide(contentHold.content5); 
}; 
b6.onRelease = function() { 
menuSlide(contentHold.content6); 
};

this is what i’ve tried but dosent work

any help would be greatly appreicated thanks in advance.
