Action script - move (animate) horizontally

[oro1985]

Hi,

I need help solving this.  I have a symbol that i want to move 1920 pixels to the right when i click a button.  I can do this using "Move horizontally".  but this will send the symbol directly.  I want it to move as an animation.

Using the "animate horizontally" snipet, moves the symbol but using a speed, not distance.

any help would be appreciated.

thanks!

Hi.

You can use a tween to animate the symbol instance and then set a button to play this timeline on click.

Or can't you use timelines?

Please let us know.

OK. No problem.

Did you try to attach some file? There isn't any in your comment.

If it's an FLA, you're gonna have to upload it to a file sharing service (e.g.: Creative Cloud, Google Drive, Dropbox, WeTransfer...) and paste the link to the file here.

Thanks.

For this case, you can use a Tween.

Just replace the code that you have in your file:

import fl.motion.easing.*;
import fl.transitions.Tween;

var tween:Tween;

go.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToPosition);

function fl_ClickToPosition(event:MouseEvent):void
{
	tween = new Tween(movedor, "x", Back.easeInOut, movedor.x, 655.4, 1, true);
}

back.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToPosition2);

function fl_ClickToPosition2(event:MouseEvent):void
{
	tween = new Tween(movedor, "x", Back.easeInOut, movedor.x, 55.4, 1, true);
}
