in your on(press) handler start a loop (onEnterFrame or setInterval) and repeatedly assign your textfield's text property to be the red circles _x and _y properties. in your on(release) handler terminate that loop.

Hi kglad,
I dont suppose you could show me how to create the loop? My own research seems to indicate the onEnterFrame method would be easiest.
I am just a beginner and even this is still beyond me.
thanks
