How to Change Symbol Position Horizontally and Vertically with Actionscript

[Ece5F99]

Hi,

I want to change the position of the symbol i created with Actionscript to a certain length, first from top to bottom, then from right to left. Can you help me?

you would change the symbol's x and y properties using the symbol's instance name.  for example, if mc1 is at 0,0 and you want to change that to 100,200:

mc1.x = 100;

mc1.y = 200;

if you want to animate the position change, you would use a loop (eg, enterframe) to repeatedly update the x and y properties:

this.addEventListener(Event.ENTERFRAME, loopF);

function loopF(e:Event):void{

if(mc1.x<100){

mc1.x += 2;  // different values from 2 would change the speed.

}

if(mc1.y<200){

mc1.y += 2;

}

// done animate this move, terminate loop

if(mc1.x>=100 && mc1.y>=200){

this.removeEventListener(Event.ENTERFRAME, loopF);

}

}

I'd think using the tween library would be vastly preferable to hand-coding a weak imitation of it.

I need to examine a little more what I can do with the library. The solution was practical for me. Thank you.

First of all, thank you for your information.

I tried using it and encountered an error like this:
Scene 1, Layer 'Layer_1', Frame 1, Row 7, Column 10 1021: Replication function definition.
I think, I couldn't fully use it.

var mc1:Circle = new Circle(); // where you have a symbol in the library with linkage id = MC

addChild(mc1);

this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, loopF);

function loopF(e:Event):void{

if(mc1.x<100){

mc1.x += 2; // different values from 2 would change the speed.

}

if(mc1.y<200){

mc1.y += 2;

}

// done animate this move, terminate loop

if(mc1.x>=100 && mc1.y>=200){

this.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, loopF);

}
}
