Moving one tile at a time

[hdd33]

Sup guys. I'm sure this is a simple question but any help would be appreciated. I have a game which has a 2d grid. How can I make it so that if the user taps a direction, the player moves exactly one grid tile in that direction. The easy way, if the tile size was 10x10, would be to just add 10 to the user's position. However, I'd like to make the motion smooth whereas adding 10 would just 'jump' from one tile to the next. Basically, the user shouldn't be able to stop inbetween tiles Thanks for any help on this.

You can also use TweenLite to make the transition smooth without the fuss of coding it manually.
