select the object, and click on the “Add Motion Guide” button below the layers. Now drag a line with some tool the be sur that “snap to objects” is on and snap the object on one end of the line… now in frame …let’s say 50 make a keyframe in the object’s layer and make regular a frame in the motion guide’s layer. now in frame 50 snap the object on the other end of the line… right click on the first frame of the object’s layer and select motion tween…  
PS: the object has to be a symbol.  
there ya go 🙂
