Character movement with mouse click

Question

This will be for an MMO online game/ world. So it needs to be good.
Hi guys. I'm really happy I got this to work as I'm a neebie to AS3 but getting to love its simplicity. My problem is not my AS3 but my maths.
I click the mouse and the movieclip runs to the mouse's x position. However, it only goes in one direction ie: downwards and to the right.
I need to it go in all directions depending on where I click. I suppose it has to do with comparing x and y positions of both mouse and mc - ie: if one is bigger than the other then you can tell where both are positioned and then put the code in. Am I right and does anybody hace a little code like this flying around for me?
import flash.display.Stage;
import flash.events.Event;
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, myClickReaction);
function myClickReaction (e:MouseEvent):void{
    sunny.gotoAndPlay("runback")
    //sunny.x = root.stage.mouseX
    //sunny.y = root.stage.mouseY
    addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onEnterFrame);
function onEnterFrame(event:Event):void {
             var xDistance:Number
             var yDistance:Number
            //mc increments by 5 until it reaches mouse - mc (ie the distance)
            sunny.x += 5;
            sunny.y += 5;
            xDistance = root.stage.mouseX - sunny.x
            trace (xDistance)
            if (xDistance <= 0 ) {
            trace("works")
            sunny.gotoAndPlay("static")
            removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onEnterFrame);

Answer 1

Thanks for contacting but the code more or less works already apart from the comments below.
The position I get comparing mousex position and movieclip position. BUT it goes loopy when I move the mouse around. ie: I need the coordinates when I click and not a variable that changes while I move mouse around.
I will check it out now.
import flash.display.Stage;
import flash.events.Event;
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, myClickReaction);
function myClickReaction (e:MouseEvent):void{
//sunny.x = root.stage.mouseX
//sunny.y = root.stage.mouseY
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onEnterFrame);
function onEnterFrame(event:Event):void {
             var xDistance:Number
    var yDistance:Number
   //mc increments by 5 until it reaches mouse - mc (ie the distance)
            // if you click to the right of sunny then mouse is > than sunny.x so x = 5
   if (root.stage.mouseX > sunny.x) {
    sunny.gotoAndPlay("walk right")
    sunny.x += 5;
    sunny.y += 0;
    xDistance = root.stage.mouseX - sunny.x
    //if (xDistance <= 0 ) {
    //sunny.gotoAndPlay("static")
    //removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onEnterFrame);
