Swapping x positions

I really hope someone can help me with this, I've been trying to get it to work for 3 days and it's driving me CRAZY!!! What I have is 3 box MCs in a horizontal row, each has a button in it. What I'm looking for, is to be able to click a box and have it tween to the position of the left-most box, while the left-most box tweens to where the other box is coming from. I can get it to work a little, but I can't figure out how to have the second box trigger the box that is now in the left-most position to swap with it...it's driving me NUTS, and I've been looking for tutorials, but it's a hard thing to search for..if anyone has any advice whatsoever, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks, and I hope that made sense

see the attached file, this should do it.
there's just one little snag in it: if you trigger the buttons too fast, it can happen, that they remain on the same x position.

That is GREAT!!!! Thank you so much for your time, and help..I might be able to get some sleep tonight ;)

Thanks,
Adam

lol great. sweetest dreams for you. ;)

hey, cool script this is...
btw, i found a small bug...(is this intentional? i dont know)
when i clicked the middle box, during the time it moves to the left, if i clicked the rightmost box, the rightmost box goes over to the leftmost box, and voila! there's only 2 box in view!
the same thing happens when i clicked the rightmost box, and if i clicked the middle box while it's moving, the middle box will go over the left box and there's only 2 box visible.
It's only that one box always be on top on another, and there's no way of returning it back to 3 box-view :D

just FYI i guess

:smoov:

I've been working on that for over an hour, can't seem to get a fix. I don't mind, eRkLaErBaEr has given me a huge head start. If I get it, I'll post the fix here in case you want to see it, but I wouldn't be holding your breath if I was you ;)

i'm holding my breath here...:hubba:

Go Adam!
:smoov:

Well, I hope your breathing by now, 'cause I'm lost with this, lol..tried everything I know - which is very limited - but to no avail....

*gasp* *gasp* *sputter*
i'm turning blue for nothing...:cow:

I really appreciate it though.
Thanks Adam :D

:smoov:

let me know if this works...:)

oops...
are you using MX2004? i'm still using MX so its "invalid file format" for me...
could you save it for MX?
thanks

:smoov:

yeah, no problem.

woo hoo
this is good...even more, there's nothing here but AS...
wicked!
maybe i'll try to make it so that the leftmost boxes can also be swapped :D

thanks
:smoov:

that's the snatch, i meant. the leftmost box receives it's new x position from the box clicked on. so when clicking a box "on the move", the leftmost gets x positions, which don't work with the script.

edit: caramba rysolag, awesome scripting ... i don't get it, but it's working great (and without errors, not like mine :p). :D

yeah it's sort of sloppy...what don't you get?

your script ... too much maths, i'm not that clever. :p

Thanks, rysolag for another idea on how to do this, now I'm more lost than before ;) Thanks to the both of you for great directions to go in.
