Hi I have this MC and I need it to move, so surprises there. I have this on the MC [AS]onClipEvent(load){  
musicNormalX = \_x;  
musicNormalY = \_y;  
musicTargetX = \_x;  
musicTargetY = \_y;  
easeSpeed = 1000;  
}  
onClipEvent(enterFrame){  
this.\_x += (musicNormalX - musicTargetX)/easeSpeed;  
this.\_y += (musicNormalY - musicTargetY)/easeSpeed;  
}[/AS]

And then this on a button :

[AS]on(release){  
\_root.music.musicTargetX = 10;  
\_root.music.musicTargetY = 10;  
}[/AS]

The MC ID is music as you could tell from the button code. What happens is that the MC moves. But then it doesn’t stop!!! Well I am puzzled out of ideas.

Doesnt matter I fixed if by using [AS]onClipEvent(load){  
musicTargetX = \_x;  
musicTargetY = \_y;  
easeSpeed = 1000;  
}  
onClipEvent(enterFrame){  
this.\_x += (musicNormalX - \_x)/easeSpeed;  
this.\_y += (musicNormalY - \_y)/easeSpeed;  
}[/AS]

Its was using a fixed var before but now it uses the current \_x and \_y to calculate the next position.
