i am newbie around in flash. i have written a code for move an object (button instance). but my problem is its instantaneous. i want it to move in a smooth motion (something like tweening). i have tried for loops and stuff… but i have not been able to smoothen the motion.

the code is as follows

[AS]  
on (rollOver) {  
speed = 2;  
finalx = contactbutton.\_x + 100;  
finaly = contactbutton.\_y + 100;  
contactbutton.\_x += (finalx - contactbutton.\_x)/speed;  
}

[/AS] :hair:

i checked out the link and made modifications to the script. i’m placing my script below: actually, i have tried using ‘easing’ only the x values for a start

[AS]

on (rollOver) {  
/ get original x and y position /  
xpos = this.contactbutton.\_x;  
ypos = this.contactbutton.\_y;  
speed = 3;  
/calculate final x & y position /  
finalX = xpos + 100;  
finalY = ypos + 100;

```
      onEnterFrame = function() {
differenceX = finalX - this.contactbutton._xscale;
differenceY = finalY - this.contactbutton._yscale;
if (Math.floor(differenceX == 0)) {
	delete.this.onEnterFrame;
} else {
contactbutton._xscale += differenceX /speed;
}
}

```

}  
[/AS]
