Well here’s the AS tweening code  
i’ve checked everything  
the MC called thetext is on the timelime, in fact everything is

if the movement is not tweened, could it be that the for loop is too fast and switches from the actual to the previous/next position too rapidly ??

```auto

t = 3;
function go_up() {
	for (yactualposition=i; i<ypreviousposition; i) {
		trace(i);
		_root.thetext._y = i;
		i += t
	}
	_root.prevFrame();
	stop();
}
function go_down() {
	for (yactualposition=i; i>yforwardposition; t) {
		_root.thetext._y = i;
		i -= t;
	}
	_root.nextFrame();
	stop();
}

```

well thanks for the help guys anyway…  
i think i might have worked the thing out - althoug if somoene more experience could confirm it:

- i at least 2 frames **need** to be played in order for the script to work…  
I dont know why a single, looping code wont affect my clips… Maybe flash has a disease :beam:
