Can I make my movieclip wait?

[heddle]

I have an action that when a movieclip is clicked it is supposed to move to the top left of the screen. I have a FOR statement that is supposed to move it there in ten intervals, but the movieclip seems to jump right to the top left. Can I make each For loop pause for a small increment before it executes the next loop to make the movieclip appear to move to the top instead of jump?





var x:Number=movieClip._x;
var newx:Number=x/10;
var y:Number=movieClip._y;
var newy:Number=y/10;


for (var i:Number = 1; i<11; i++) {

x=(x-newx) ;
movieClip._x=x;


y=(y-newy) ;
movieClip._y=y;



}

Generally the for loops execute so quickly that you do not get the transition effect. Look into the tween class:

or use an onEnterFrame event -

onEnterFrame = function(){
movieClip._x-=10;
movieClip._y-=10;
movieClip._y<100 ? onEnterFrame = null : null;
};

It still jumps right to the spot no matter what duration I specify.

Got it to work...Thanks
