Hi i am making a game where the user places a tile on a target, then the target needs to move across the stage ready for the next tile to be placed.  
here is the code i am using:

var Xpos:Number;  
var Ypos:Number;

heatLight\_mc.onPress = function() {  
this.startDrag(true);  
Xpos = this.\_x;  
Ypos = this.\_y;  
}  
heatLight\_mc.onRelease = function() {  
this.stopDrag();

if (heatLight\_mc.hitTest(target2\_mc)) {  
stop();

}else if (heatLight\_mc.hitTest(target1\_mc)) {

target1\_mc.onEnterFrame = function() {  
this.\_x += 2; //here is where i need to stop it at X coordinate??

};  
}else{  
heatLight\_mc.\_x = Xpos;  
heatLight\_mc.\_y = Ypos;  
}  
};

This makes the target move across the stage, but I cannot get it to stop at a X coordinate.  
can anyone help please, thanks
