Ok after visiting the kirupa forum over the past week i finally got a movement script that worked. The first two movieclips move and it is all good, but I cant get the newthing movieclip to move…  
can i only have two movieclips move. However the first two movieclips called to move are blank movie clips that are loaded externally is that what i am missing??

any help would be appreciated ALOT!!!

code:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------  
on(release){

\_root.products.onEnterFrame = function(){  
this.\_x = 0-(0-this.\_x)/1.2  
this.\_y = 40-(40-this.\_y)/1.2  
}  
\_root.galleryreal.onEnterFrame = function(){  
this.\_x = 20-(20-this.\_x)/1.2  
this.\_y = -620-(-620-this.\_y)/1.2  
}  
\_root.newthing.onEnterFrame = function(){  
this.\_x = 40-(40-this.\_x)/1.2  
this.\_y = -578-(-578-this.\_y)/1.2  
}  
}

* * *

This code is in the first frame of the main movie

code:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------  
\_root.createEmptyMovieClip(“products”, 1);  
loadMovie(“products/products.swf”, \_root.products);  
\_root.products.\_x = -750 ;  
\_root.products.\_y = 40 ;

```
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("galleryreal", 2);
loadMovie("galleryDemo.swf", _root.galleryreal);
_root.galleryreal._x = 20 ;
_root.galleryreal._y = -350 ;

```

Are you sure you gave it the correct instance name ?

First of all, I gave it an instance name. Then, I changed the instance name in the code on the button. And it worked.
