I'm trying to move an object diagnally (using x and y increments).
I know it would be easy to do this with an object traveling in a straight path on a 45 degree angle, but I am using another angle. The angle i need the object to move is 50 degrees.

Here is a graphic of what i'm looking to achieve

This code will move an object continuously between the bounds of the stage at the angle you specified (50 degrees from top of stage).

Thanks. Thats almost right. They x and the y are not moving proportionately. You can see the diag. line move up and down too much in the y direction. Im looking for the line to travel only at that 50º angle/as though its stuck on a traintrack, if that makes sense.

FYI: my movieclip (diagLine_mc) is already at the 50º angle in my library.

Post your code or the FLA. I just ran a test and that code should work just fine, meaning making the line appear that it's running on a track at the same angle as the line.
