Get rid of the nextMc(). That line actually executes the function which you defined above. If you don’t execute it, it won’t do no nothing, so take away the line that executes it 🙂

No, but you would add similar code to it like the code that’s already in it. Here’s the prototype for 2 axis easing:
```auto
MovieClip.prototype.easeIn = function(tarX,tarY) {
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
this._x = tarX-(tarX-this._x)/1.2;
this._y = tarY-(tarY-this._y)/1.2;
if (Math.abs(this._x-tarX)<1 && Math.abs(this._y-tarY)<1) {
this._x = tarX;
this._y = tarY;
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
};
};
```

Alright, that’s what I thought… now if I wanted to tell a movieclip to go to a certain point using the Y axis, how would I do that?
using this function:
on (release) {
mask.easeIn(500);
}
…uses the X axis only… so how would I tell the movie clip to move along the Y axis?
Thank you very much, Voet! I appreciate all of your guys help with my issues… This website is by far the best Flash tutorial site I have found… and th forums don’t hurt either 😉 Once again, thank you!

Ok… just looking through the code and familiarizing myself with how it’s built, i tested this code:
on (release) {
mask.easeIn(x,100);
}
…and this worked for me… i’m not sure if replacing the Xaxis with a simple letter is the way to go, but that worked… Am I wrong?

…ok… Voet… I think this will be the last request… I’ve figured out how to manipluate the X and Y with easing - your golden formula is nothing short of it’s reputation. Now! How can I add in changing the Width and Height within this formula too!? That is my final request on this subject… at least for now…
Thank you again,
Devin

Alright everyone… through the evolution of this topic I have been helped in numerous ways… To answer my own question I have manipulated Voets Golden Formula to effect the \_x, \_y, \_width, and \_height. For all the nubs that are in my former shoes, here’s the answer (of course, there could be some tweaks):
MovieClip.prototype.easeIn = function( tarX, tarY, nWidth, nHeight )
{
this.onEnterFrame = function()
{
this.\_x = tarX - ( tarX-this.\_x ) / 1.2;
this.\_y = tarY - ( tarY-this.\_y ) / 1.2;
this.\_width = nWidth - ( nWidth - this.\_width ) / 1.2;
this.\_height = nHeight - ( nWidth - this.\_height ) / 1.2;
trace(this.\_width);
if ( Math.abs( this.\_width - nWidth ) \< 1 && Math.abs( this.\_height - nHeight ) \< 1 )
{
trace(“do it”);
this.\_width = nWidth;
this.\_height = nHeight;
}
if ( Math.abs( this.\_x - tarX ) \< 1 && Math.abs( this.\_y-tarY ) \< 1 )
{
this.\_x = tarX;
this.\_y = tarY;
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
};
};
I love it!
Sincerely,
Devin

Hey l2edsand!
I am try to put it together and I am having some prob’s?? Can you maybe help me out, or post a .fla with your example? Thanks mang!!!

Isn’t it better to combine the two if statements?
Cause if the difference between x/y and tarX/tarY is small, the onEnterFrame will be deleted, before you reach the chosen width/height;)
```auto
MovieClip.prototype.easeIn = function(tarX, tarY, nWidth, nHeight) {
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
this._x = tarX-(tarX-this._x)/1.2;
this._y = tarY-(tarY-this._y)/1.2;
this._width = nWidth-(nWidth-this._width)/1.2;
this._height = nHeight-(nWidth-this._height)/1.2;
trace(this._width);
if (Math.abs(this._width-nWidth)<1 && Math.abs(this._height-nHeight)<1 && Math.abs(this._x-tarX)<1 && Math.abs(this._y-tarY)<1) {
trace("do it");
this._width = nWidth;
this._height = nHeight;
this._x = tarX;
this._y = tarY;
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
};
};
```

Oh, well done l2edsand ! It’s not perfect, but you definitely were going the right way ! You can pretty much ease anything that way, that’s why I called it “my golden formula” just for kicks before, and it kept that name although that wasn’t intended :lol:

Morning guys… Well morning here.
I am try to do this effect [http://www.exopolis.com/site/](http://www.exopolis.com/site/) it steams like sequence with the Golden formula? Don’t know?
Thanks guys!!!

Hey Flash,
Copy and paste scotty’s simplified, sexy code into your first keyframe on the top layer (rename it “golden”):
MovieClip.prototype.easeIn = function(tarX, tarY, nWidth, nHeight) {
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
this.\_x = tarX-(tarX-this.\_x)/1.2;
this.\_y = tarY-(tarY-this.\_y)/1.2;
this.\_width = nWidth-(nWidth-this.\_width)/1.2;
this.\_height = nHeight-(nWidth-this.\_height)/1.2;
trace(this.\_width);
if (Math.abs(this.\_width-nWidth)\<1 && Math.abs(this.\_height-nHeight)\<1 && Math.abs(this.\_x-tarX)\<1 && Math.abs(this.\_y-tarY)\<1) {
trace(“do it”);
this.\_width = nWidth;
this.\_height = nHeight;
this.\_x = tarX;
this.\_y = tarY;
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
};
};
Then, create a square and convert it into a movie clip… give it an instance name of whatever you want (i.e. “mc” without quotes). then… you can create a button. once the button symbol is created drag it onto the stage if it isn’t there already and click on it - open up the actions panel and paste this code into it:
on (release) {
mc.easeIn(10,50,350,40);
}
That should take your box mc and move it to the x,y corodinates of 10 and 50 and change the size of it to 350x40… just play around with it… it’s really simple after a while. And if you need to, take a glance through the code to familiarize yourself with what’s actually being done there.
I hope that helps!
Devin

Hi i’m trying to use this great prototype.
but stuck in one thing…
What i want to do is.
1.the Mc goes to designated point
2. it’s being yscaled
3. rotating ( [COLOR=Red]\_rotation +=2[/COLOR] )
step 1 and two is ok, but step 3 is not working,
What am i’m doing wrong with this AS ? it’s prob something simple.
I’m new with this prototype thing, just stumbled accross it 3 days ago 🙂
would be great if someone could direct me, been stuck for 10 hours now ☹
MovieClip.prototype.easeIn = function(x, y) {
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
this.\_x = x-(x-this.\_x)/1.1;
this.\_y = y-(y-this.\_y)/1.1;
if (this.\_x\>x-1 && this.\_x\y-1 && this.\_y\
