I have movieclip1. When I mouseDown, I want to move movieclip2 to a specific \_x position with deceleration.
I am using setProperty (\_x) of clip2 on mouseDown of clip1, and clip2 moves just fine, but how do I get the deceleration to work?
Thanks for any help,
georgia

Take a search of this site for something called “easing”…
I think you’ll find it very useful 😉

I have studied the easing tutorial, but as a newbie, I still don’t get one thing.
In the tutorial, the actions are targeting the movieclip that they are attached to. I am trying to target a different (clip2) clip and to have it move to a specific \_x coordinate with the deceleration (not follow the mouse). I have tried various experiments, but no good. Any help would be greatly appreciated.:beam:

Well easing is an equation…
```
_x += (endX-_x)/speed;
_y += (endY-_y)/speed;
```
endX and endY are the final destinations.
So if you set endX and endY to where you want the clip to go, it will go there.
