Learning the basics

Question

Can anyone tell me how, via Actionscript, one can get an
object to move via the press of a button to a desired reference
point and scale up or down when it does so?
This is probabably really basic but for a newbee like me it
would probably be easier carrying this computer to the top of
Everest!
Thank you :)

Answer 1

my_btn.onRelease = function() {
my_mc._x = 473;
my_mc._y = 382;
my_mc._width = 38;
my_mc._height = 329;
you can also use the Tween and Easing class for smooth
transitions
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
my_btn.onRelease = function(){
var tw:Tween = new Tween(my_mc, "_x",
mx.transitions.easing.Strong.easeOut, 100, 473, 1, true);
var tw2:Tween = new Tween(my_mc, "_y",
mx.transitions.easing.Strong.easeOut, 290, 387, 1, true);
where the first number is starting point, second is ending
point, third is how long it takes, and true=in seconds false=in
frames. look in help files there are more tweens other than
Strong....Back, Elastic, Regular... theres easeOut easeIn
easeOutIn... you can do all this will all properties _width _height
_alpha blah blah... have fun
