I have read the tutorial on this and am using the following code:

onClipEvent (load) {  
\_x = 78;  
\_y = 163;  
speed = 5;  
}  
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {  
endX = \_root.\_xmouse;  
endY = \_root.\_ymouse;  
\_x += (endX-\_x)/speed;  
\_y += (endY-\_y)/speed;  
}

My issue is this: I want the movie clip image (instance name: Check) to start at the location (X=78, Y=163) and not immediately “run” up to X=0, Y=0 when the movie loads. I just want it to hover in the middle of the movie until the cursor enters the image.

Thanks.

BTW: Great site.
