OK, I apologize if this is stupid and lame, but I need HELP. Just about blind from this:

Here is my code, attached to a movie clip:

onClipEvent(load){  
\_y=13.1;  
targety=-20.9  
speed=5;  
}

onClipEvent(enterFrame){  
\_y+=(targety-\_y)/speed;  
}

That’s great, it moves. And then it stops. And then it starts all over in the last frame.

I need some sort of If Else thing here, I think, to say “hey, once you’ve reached targety, please don’t go any further.” Somebody helped me out here a while back with a similar problem with alpha…only for some reason I can make the link in my logic to come up with the same thing for targety.

Please please help.

I really really need to finish this by midnight. (EST.).

Thanks in advance.
