I was wondering how I would be able to return a symbol to it’s original position automatically because of a mouse rollover after gravity has been applied to it. Is there a tutorial for this? Thanks in advance for any help you might be able to provide. ---

just set the current location of the symbol before it moves, then afterwards, or whenever, have it’s x and y equal to the original x and y. Variable like this - origY = this.\_y origX = this.\_x ////gravity script or whatever /// on(press) /// or whatever you want { this.\_y = origY this.\_x = origX } see what i’m saying??? ----- is this your attempt at getting the “menu” pieces to go back to normal on mouseOver…from the example you gave in the other post? ---
