Use the on (press) action attached to the movie clip. Inside the brackets, adjust the \_y property, for example \_root.movieclip.\_y = \_root.movieclip.\_y -30.

Well, the object you have should then be a button, ( I called it thisobject here ) with the as:
[AS]
on(release){
if (\_root.targY == positionminus30){
\_root.targY = \_root.thisobject.\_y;
} else {
\_root.targY = \_root.thisobject.\_y - 30;
}
}
[/AS]
Add another empty movieclip (CTRL+F8), giev it any name and drag it from the library (F11) to the stage (doesn’t matter where). Now apply this code to it:
[AS]
onClipEvent(load){
\_root.targY = originalobjectposition;
}
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
\_root.thisobject.\_y = \_root.targY - (\_root.targY - \_root.thisobject.\_y)/1.2;
}
[/AS]
That should work. I can’t test it though cuz I ain’t got flash here.
