hi guys, first of all: thanks in advance for your help!  
i thought doing this was going to be super easy but i cant figure out the way to do it now, thats why im coming to the flash gurus out here…  
its plain simple, i want a movieclip to move slowly from one side to the other till it hits position 220 in x and ‘bounce’ back (no physics involved here) until it hits 700 in x and back again.  
the script i have so far is:

onClipEvent (enterFrame){  
position = this.\_x;  
if (this.\_x \>= 220) {  
this.\_x = position - 2;  
}  
}

this is a slightly diff version but it just makes it jitter once it hits 220…

onClipEvent (enterFrame){  
position = this.\_x;  
this.\_x = position -2;  
if (this.\_x \<= 220){  
this.\_x = position +2;  
}  
}

some help would be greatly appreciated, i saw this posting but it didnt really help much cause i dont want the clip to jump all the way back to its original position:
