hi,  
The following code works fine when mouse is pressed at any position on the screen ,object moves that position…but what if I want the object move that position at a certain speed…say+10 using setInterval…I mean I want my object move slowly to any position I click on the screen…  
How do you modify the code ?  
thanks
