I'm sure there are better ways to script it than I was trying, but my idea was
kind of like being in the middle of a room with 4 walls.The stage would be like
a static camera facing one wall. The room starts to revolve slowly picking up
speed. The room continues to spin at it's max speed for a couple seconds and
then gradually slows down and stops on a different wall in front of the static
camera.
I wanted to be able to have four buttons that would activate this spinning and
each tell it to stop at a different wall.
I thought the easiest way would be to have a movie clip with the four walls in
it.
Everything seems to work except the easing out to an _x position. The X pos is
set onRelese button.

If you can think of a better way to code this or a fix to my code I greatly
appreciate it. If you want the .fla please let me know. Any help is appreciated
since I am stuck.

Thanks,

Hey John,

[quoted text, click to view]
and easeing function. It may help you out.

-redLetter

function easePosition(theClip, targetX, targetY, speed){
// The Ease_x Function
if (targetX > theClip._x) {
theClip._x += (targetX-theClip._x)/speed;
//Force to final position
if (theClip._x > (targetX-0.5)) {
theClip._x = targetX;
};
} else if (targetX < theClip._x) {
theClip._x += (targetX-theClip._x)/speed;
//Force to final position
if (theClip._x < (targetX+0.5)) {
theClip._x = targetX;
};
}; // END Ease_x Function

// The Ease_y Function
if (targetY > theClip._y) {
theClip._y += (targetY-theClip._y)/speed;
//Force to final position
if (theClip._y > (targetY-0.5)) {
theClip._y = targetY;
};
} else if (targetY < theClip._y) {
theClip._y += (targetY-theClip._y)/speed;
//Force to final position
if (theClip._y < (targetY+0.5)) {
theClip._y = targetY;
};
}; // END Ease_y Function
}; //END easePosition


To use it all you have to do it call the function like this:
--------------------------------
easePosition(theClip, targetX, targetY, speed);

filled in it looks like this:
--------------------------------
easePosition(movieclip, 250, 300, 5);

Note
--------------------------------
The larger the number you put for the speed the slower it moves.

var ease:Function = mx.transitions.easing.Regular.easeOut;
private function easeY(target_mc:MovieClip, easeType, endY:Number,
tweenTime:Number) {
var myApp:Object = this;
var roTween:Tween = new Tween(target_mc, "_y", easeType, target_mc._y, endY,
tweenTime, false);
roTween.onMotionFinished = function() {
};
}

This will ease in the _y, and once it finishes you can call any function you
want inside onMotionFinished.

You need to use this code to make it work:

easeY(target_mc, ease, 200, 30)

The tween time is in frames, it just is more smooth.
