Hey All,  
Happy Holidays! :?)

I finished Kirupa’s tutorial on the “Sliding Menu” and have a question for all you actionscript gurus…

The tutorial shows how to make the movie clip slide on the horizontal (x) but how do I configure the code to use both horizontal and vertical (y)?

I know this is asking for alot but I really am a novice at this actionscript stuff :bu:

Do I just add a dest=" \_root.ynew ;" and “pos = this.y ;” some how to this code?

stop () ;  
MovieClip.prototype.move2 = function () {  
dest = \_root.xnew ;  
pos = this.\_x ;  
vel = vel\*0.7 + (dest-pos)/6 ;  
this.\_x += vel ;  
}  
MovieClip.prototype.move = function () {  
dest = \_root.xnew ;  
pos = this.\_x ;  
vel = (dest-pos)/6 ;  
this.\_x += vel ;  
}

Here is a link to the tut:

Thanks for your help!
