Simple Tween Question

Question

I think it's tween. Not sure.
Anyway, I want to make something like
this.
The user clicks on a day of the week and the slider goes to
that day.
I'm not trying to do the XML part where the information is
displayed, I just want to know how to get the slider to move from
one spot to another.
:)

You would want to use the Tween class in Flash.
Put this at the top of your code:
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
And then to tween something, you would put:
new Tween(whatClip, whatProp, motionMath, beginValue,
destValue, duration, inSeconds);
whatClip = a reference to the MovieClip you want to tween
whatProp = what property of the MovieClip you're tweening
motionMath = what type of MotionMath you're using. This is a
bit more complicated but it would be a combination of a type of
motion and a type of easing. The different types of motion are
"Regular", "Bounce", "Back", "Elastic", or "Strong". You will
almost always use Regular. The different types of easing are
"none", "easeIn", "easeOut", "easeInOut".
beginValue = the beginning value of the property you're
tweening
destValue = the end value of the property you're tweening
duration = the duration of the tween in seconds or in frames
inSeconds = whether or not you're using seconds or frames.
True = seconds. False = frames.
So, if you wanted to move a ball_mc from x=100 to x=300 with
an easeOut over a span of 1.5 seconds, you would write:
new Tween(ball_mc, "_x", Regular.easeOut, ball_mc._x, 300,
1.5, true);
Pay attention to what's in quotations and what isn't.
