hi guys,

i need to make a mc draggable.. also to provide buttons, when clicked, will move the mc to a specific spot.

at present, i put the draggable mc, mc_drag, into a mc container, mc_contain.

i am able to drag the mc_drag around, when i click the buttons, it goes to the specific spot, all's well. BUT when i try to drag the mc_drag again.. it keeps hopping back to the specific spot ..

gotoblahh_btn.onPress = function() {
	_root.mc_contain.mc_drag.onEnterFrame = moveto(145,75);	
};

function moveto(xcoord, ycoord){	
	this.onEnterFrame = function() {
		_root.mc_contain.mc_drag._x = 0;
		_root.mc_contain.mc_drag._y = 0;
		if (_root.cutthecrap == "more") {
			_root.yChange = Math.round(ycoord-_root.mc_contain._y);
			_root.xChange = Math.round(xcoord-_root.mc_contain._x);
			_root.yMove = Math.round(_root.yChange/10);
			_root.xMove = Math.round(_root.xChange/10);
			_root.mc_contain._y += _root.yMove;
			_root.mc_contain._x += _root.xMove;	
		}
      //for some reason, _root.mc_contain._x will never be equal to xcoord, is there some problem with my moveto code?
		if ((_root.mc_contain._x == xcoord) && (_root.mc_contain._y == ycoord)){
			delete _root.mc_contain.mc_drag.onEnterFrame;
		}
	}
}

i appreciate the help! thanks

// all of this is on the root timeline
//  this code
//  a button named gotoblahh_btn
//  a mc named mc_contain
//      inside mc_contain is a mc named mc_drag
gotoblahh_btn.onPress = function() {
	moveto(145, 75);
	momentum = 10;
};

function moveto(xcoord, ycoord) {
	xDestination = xcoord;
	yDestination = ycoord;
	this.onEnterFrame = function() {
			var yChange = ycoord-mc_contain.mc_drag._y;
			var xChange = xcoord-mc_contain.mc_drag._x;
			mc_contain.mc_drag._y += yChange/momentum;
			mc_contain.mc_drag._x += xChange/momentum;
			momentum *= .85;// decrease the momentum
		if ((mc_contain.mc_drag._x == xDestination) && (mc_contain.mc_drag._y == yDestination)) {
			delete this.onEnterFrame;
			trace("finished moving")
		}
	};
}
mc_contain.mc_drag.onPress = function() {
	startDrag(this);
};
mc_contain.mc_drag.onRelease = function() {
	stopDrag();
};

oops.. just take out all that bit about xDestination and yDestination.. it works fine without it. And make sure you change the if statement to
if ((mc_contain.mc_drag._x == xcoord) && (mc_contain.mc_drag._y == ycoord)) {

great!
thanks mike!!
