TweenMax a Child symbol

Question

Hello everybody,
this is my last try, then I will return to a brave tweening Designer.
I asked a few times ago, but unforunately no solution at the end:
I placed a symol on stage with a trigger at the first frame:
sym.stop();
var eins = sym.createChildSymbol("eins", "Stage");
eins.getSymbolElement().css({
          'position': 'absolute',
          'left': 100,
          'top': 0
Now I know (thank you BigMucho) that I can move the symbol with te following code:
var eins = sym.createChildSymbol("eins", "Stage");
var moveEins = eins.getSymbolElement();
TweenMax.set(moveEins, {position:'absolute', left:100, top:0});
TweenMax.to(moveEins, 2, {y:120, scale:1, opacity:1, delay:0, ease:Expo.easeOut});
Whith this code I placed the symbol from the library and move it in one step.
But I want to move the symbol (eins) which is already placed on the stage (with a trigger),
whith a button afterwards.
For better anderstanding:

Maybe there is someone, who can imagine what I want.

Hi, Oliver-
Here's your project that has animations done using jQuery animate().  I know this isn't quite what you're looking for, but your TweenMax library isn't loaded in your project.  For more information on how to get this included, check out this forum post:

If you're dynamically loading your symbol element, you're going to need to save the reference somewhere and then refer to it later.  You can at least see what I did using your project files here:

As you can see, what I did was to save a variable with the symbol instance reference, and then when I wanted to use it later, loaded the variable into the current scope, then grabbed the DOM by using getSymbolElement().
Hopefully this points you in the right direction.
Thanks,
