animation question, plz~~somebody help me~~

[till...]

I'm trying to animate multiple objects' _x with one button, if the first object's actionscript is _root.tagX = 300, then what should the others be??

is it _root.instance name.tagX = something ?

or is there a better way to do something like this, please help, thx thx thx....

i'm using Flash 5 by the way...

somebutton.onRelease = function(){
if (movieclip1._x == 300){
movieclip2._y = 150;
}
}

?????

Sorry til, not really getting what you're trying to say, think I'm not the only one...Is this what you want?

Ruben, he's using Flash 5..

Oh, sorry, my mistake, the code on the button in F5 should be:

on(release){
if (movieclip1._x == 300){
movieclip2._y = 150;
}
}

thx guys

but i want the movieclips to 'move' to the destination, not jump right to there.
so i have to set something on the movieclips like this right?

onClipEvent (load) {
movieclip.targX = 100;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
cX = this._x;
difX = cX - movieclip.targX;
setProperty (movieclip, _x, cX - (difX/5));
}

correct my mistakes please...
thank you for your time...

alrighty then, just typed in replybox, not tested....just so you know ;)

code on clip:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_root.move && _x != _root.destinationX){
_x += (_root.destinationX - _x) / _root.steps;
_y += (_root.destinationY - _y) / _root.steps;
}else{
_root.move = false;
}
}

code on button:
on (release){
_root.move = true;
_root.destinationX = 200;
_root.destinationY = 200;
_root.steps = 100;
}

That should do it I guess...
