I did do a search on the question i am about to ask, and looks through several pages of posts, but could not find a simplified version of what i am looking for.

I want to be able to click and hold a button so that a movie clip in the same frame moves to the left until released, and right when the right button is clicked.

To release you have to press, which is the same as being clicked. But heres some code to play with, using two buttons, to move right or left.

//On movieclip

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if(_parent.move==1){
this._x+=3;
}
if(_parent.move==2){
this._x-=3;
}

..................................

// On Right button
on(press){
move=1;
}
on(release){
move=0;
}

// On Left button
on(press){
move=2;
}
on(release){
move=0;
}

Hmmm, I inserted the code, but its not doing anything so far, when clicked nothing happens.

One of those things, there was a } missing. Should be...

//On movieclip
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_parent.move == 1) {
this._x += 3;
}
if (_parent.move == 2) {
this._x -= 3;
}
}
