Here's a somewhat simple example with a little commentary you can try.  I recommend opening a new file just to test and become familiar with it.  Add a button to the stage and give it an instance name "btn1".  Then place this code in the timeline...

import mx.transitions.Tween;

var btn1MoveOut = true;   // indicate initial direction to move
var btn1StartX = btn1._x; // store starting position

btn1.onRelease = function(){

 
    // assign the position the btn will moveTo

    // if btn1 is going to move out, assign that position (btn1StartX + 100)
    // otherwise assign startX as the destination
     var moveTo = btn1MoveOut ? btn1StartX+100 : btn1StartX;

    // move btn1 from wherever it is to the moveTo value in 0.5 seconds

    var moveBtn:Tween = new Tween(btn1, "_x", null, btn1._x, moveTo, 0.5, true);
   
    btn1MoveOut = !btn1MoveOut;  // switch direction for next click
}

Note: I just add 100 pixels to the intial position for the final position. Use whatever you intend in place of that.

I am trying to get the a few buttons to move in diagonal position

this is the code so far that does move diagonally, but not straight on the way back it jumps. What am I doing wrong?

//btn5 goes up Bottom Right///////////////////////////////////////////
var btn5MoveOut = true;   // indicate initial direction to move
var btn5StartY = btn5._Y; // store starting position
  var btn5StartX = btn5._X;

btn5.onRelease = function(){    // if this is going to move in, assign startX as the destination
    // otherwise assign the move out position
(btn5StartY - 50)

var moveTo = !btn5MoveOut ? btn5StartY : btn5StartY - 25;

(btn5StartX + 75)
var moveTo = !btn5MoveOut ? btn5StartX : btn5StartX + 100;

    // move btn1 from wherever it is to the moveTo value in 0.5 seconds
    var moveBtn:Tween = new Tween(btn5, "_X", null, btn5._X, moveTo, 0.5, true);
   
var moveBtn:Tween = new Tween(btn5, "_Y", null, btn5._Y, moveTo, 0.5, true);

    btn5MoveOut = !btn5MoveOut;  // switch direction for next click
}

Thanks for the help

I didn't do more than a quick look so I don't know if I missed something else, but you need to have a moveToX and a moveToY value if you are moving relative to both.
