Newbie actionscripter - Moving MC

[The Krook]

Im trying to move 2 MC's with actionscript.

First MC name=test (move from y=28 to y=128)
onClipEvent (load) {
_root.x = 361.5;//change this to where it goes to.
_root.y = 128;//change this to where it goes to.
speed = 10;//change the speed.
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
x = (_root.x-this._x)/speed;
y = (_root.y-this._y)/speed;
this._x += x;
this._y += y;
}

Next MC name=test2 (move from y=327 to y=227) - moving at the same time as first MC

onClipEvent (load) {
_root.x = 361.5;//change this to where it goes to.
_root.y = 227;//change this to where it goes to.
speed = 10;//change the speed.
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
x = (_root.x-this._x)/speed;
y = (_root.y-this._y)/speed;
this._x += x;
this._y += y;
}

This doesnt work - well the first MC is fine but the second one moves way to high

I'm not seeing the problem. Your code works fine for me.

you're defining the same variables twice (which doesn't make sense) and one of them has two different values, so, the last which is read by the flash player will prevail

so, instead of sending the variables to the _root, you can define them in each of the mcs:

onClipEvent (load) {
x = 361.5;//change this to where it goes to.
y = 128;//change this to where it goes to.
speed = 10;//change the speed.
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
z = (x-this._x)/speed;
w = (y-this._y)/speed;
this._x += z;
this._y += w;
}

onClipEvent (load) {
x = 361.5;//change this to where it goes to.
y = 227;//change this to where it goes to.
speed = 10;//change the speed.
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
z = (x-this._x)/speed;
w = (y-this._y)/speed;
this._x += z;
this._y += w;
}

you also defined speed in the movieClip
if you want to define all the variables in the _root, you'll have to use diferent names for different values.

Thanks nunomira

It works - and I understand AS a little better

Another thing.

These movements are easing out - how would I make it ease in instead.
