hey graham,

you can use setproperty :

setproperty ("symbolname",_x,21)
The symbol name is what it says it is
the _x is the property so it can be _x or _y or many other properties

the 21 is the value in this case the symbolname is set to x = 21

so you can say

setproperty("graham",_y,22)
setproperty("graham",_x,99)
this will take you to (99,22)

better yet is the with

with (_root.graham) {
_y = 22;
_x = 99;

this goes directly to _root (main timeline) and graham (symbol name) sets x and y as you see . HOpe this helps

search for setProperty or _x in the action script manual.
It´s simple.

Thanks for the prompt response from both of you. I have put your script into action Krash and it works..


Thanks again
