Point and click adventure pointers

[champignon]

Hi,

I'm exploring making a point and click style adventure (i.e. like Monkey Island) in Flash 8. In essence I think that means I want to know how to keep track of a movie clip as it moves around a set route on the screen.

I would like the user to be able to click anywhere above or below the preset route(s) and the character move to the relevant point on the route.

I have made a quick example which illustrates my aim. Please see the attached .fla.

Any advice on where to start looking would be greatly received.
I.e. how do I program pre set routes? How do I allocate parts of the screen to correspond to specific points on this route when clicked upon.

Thanks.
