I have created movie clips which move by the press of a button but I am looking to master my control of moving it a bit more.  
Attached is a fla that demonstrates what I do to move a movieclip.  
At the following link the same thing is created but it does a wind up before moving… how could I modify my scripting to best suit this?

oh and there is a delay before the clip moves… how can I emulate that?
