[AS2] player movement help

[hmvince]

I have made a game where a computer has to fetch a moving ball. I was wondering what the best way to do this would be. Just making the player go straight towards the ball each frame does not work.
I was thinking that the player could move towards the ball perpendicularly to its path. That would be ideal but really hard.
Thanks for all your time and help.

i didn't understand anything from your question.... you might be a beginner, if you want to learn how to move a player and how to make it pickup something you should try this tutorial page/blog www.gorillagames.co.uk It helps a lot all people, and remember to put the stop code in the frames..
stop(); //put this code on the frames

hmm after rereading it it does seem a bit...
so.
I want the player to move towards the path of the ball so the two paths form a 90 degree angle. with the example below if the ball was moving straight across, instead of the player moving towards the ball it would move straight up (perpendicurarly).

thanks again.
