Moving an external clip

programming flash
1

This is for flash MX.

I have a movie clip which I have loaded into a location, once it has loaded in I then want it to slide to a new location with friction. What Script would I need for that.

Sorry if its a bit vague, thanks in advance

what do you mean, movieclip loaded into a location?
If you mean that using loadMovie you have loaded a swf into a MC, then you can just use easing motion on the movieclip, that should work,

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
_x+=(400-_x)/5
_y+=(200-_y)/5
}

Sorry it was a bit badly worded.

I have loaded a movieclip in using:

product.onPress = function () {
_root.createEmptyMovieClip(“container”, 1);
loadMovie(“prod.swf”, “container”);
container._x = 7 ;
container._y = 80 ;
}

When it comes in it’s hidden, which is what I want. I then want it to slide up which will make it look like it’s sliding up from behind the menu.

product.onPress = function () {
loadedmovie=true
_root.createEmptyMovieClip(“container”, 1);
loadMovie(“prod.swf”, “container”);
container._x = 7 ;
container._y = 80 ;
}
_root.onEnterFrame=function(){
if(loadedmovie){
container._x+=(400-_x)/5
container._x+=(400-_y)/5
}}

That’s fantastic, thank you very much.

Ok I have this on and its working:

product.onPress = function() {
loadedmovie = true;
_root.createEmptyMovieClip(“container”, 1);
loadMovie(“prod.swf”, “container”);
container._x = 7;
container._y = 80;
};
_root.onEnterFrame = function() {
trace (container._y)
if (loadedmovie) {
container._x += (0-_x)/5;
container._y += (10-_y)/5;
}
};
But it wont stop or move upwards, I know the stop is missing but when I add it, it stops working, what am I doing wrong?
