Moving a MC

1

Ok, should be simple, but it has been a long time since I have coded. I have a MC with the instance name of “price”. When I click another MC that says “Competetors”, I want “price” to move over left 50, and then up 60. I have tried everything I could remember but it has not been working. Can someone please explain to me how to make this one fluid motion. Anything…

Thanks guys

for a transitioned movement

actionscript on mc price


onClipEvent(load){
  this.trip=false;
  xdiff= -50;
  ydiff= -60;
}
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
  if(this.trip){
    if(this._y!=ydiff){
      _y--);
    }
    if(this._x!=xdiff){
      _x--;
    }
  }
}

then on the competitors mc you have


on(mouseDown){
  if(_xmouse>this._x&&_xmouse<this._x+this._width&&_ymouse>this._y&&_ymouse<this._y+this._height){
    price.trip=true;
  }
}

I think I see what you are trying to do here, but it is giving me some errors…

Scene=Scene 1, Layer=Text, Frame=1: Line 9: ';' expected
                             _y--);

Scene=Scene 1, Layer=Text, Frame=1: Line 15: Unexpected '}' encountered
     }

Scene=Scene 1, Layer=Text, Frame=1: Line 1: Invalid mouse event specified.
     on(mouseDown){

Scene=Scene 1, Layer=Text, Frame=1: Line 2: Statement must appear within on/onClipEvent handler
             if(_xmouse>this._x&&_xmouse<this._x+this._width&&_ymouse>this._y&&_ymouse<this._y+this._height){

Scene=Scene 1, Layer=Text, Frame=1: Line 5: Unexpected '}' encountered
     }

try this on the mc. this is actually easing motion, but its easier than normal motion

onClipEvent(load){
x=_x
y=_y
finalxpos=-60
finalypos=-50
finalxpos2=x+finalxpos
finalypos2=y+finalypos
}
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
_x+=(finalxpos2-_x)/5
_y+=(finalypos2-_y)/5
}

I cant seem to get any of this to work. Is there any way we could have a Do While loop. Maybe like…

Do _root.myprice._x -=5{
         While()_root._x >=50

Something similar to that?
