Hi,

Can someone help me try to make this \_x point a (x, y) coordinate and to move in a diagonal direction,…also, how do you make the object pause before repeating the movement???

thanks…code is pasted on the bottom:

MovieClip.prototype.easeX = function(to:Number, speed:Number, endF:Function, endO:Object, endP:Array) {  
if (what.\_x != to) {  
var \_this:MovieClip = this;  
var aux:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip(“aux\_easeX”, 1337);  
var previousPosition:Number = this.\_x;  
if (isNaN(speed) || Number(speed) !== speed || speed\<=1) {  
speed = 1.2;  
}  
aux.onEnterFrame = function() {  
\_this.\_x = to-(to-\_this.\_x)/speed;  
if (\_this.\_x == previousPosition) {  
\_this.\_x = to;  
this.removeMovieClip();  
if (endF) {  
endF.apply(endO, endP);  
}  
}  
previousPosition = \_this.\_x;  
};  
} else {  
if (endF) {  
endF.apply(endO, endP);  
}  
}  
};  
var startX:Number = myMovieClip.\_x;  
var endX:Number = startX+400;  
chain = function () {  
myMovieClip.easeX(endX, 1.2, myMovieClip.easeX, myMovieClip, [startX, 1.4, chain, null, []]);  
};  
chain();
