flash actionscript:
Hi, I'm using this dock project: http://jrgraphix.net/research/flash_dock.php
to make a timeline. Im replacing the icons with year dates 1999 2000 2001
etc... (which i've done)
I have a movie clip that is all the info on one graphic that scrolls up or
down. Understand. Like one long slide, up or down.
When I click on a year I want the corresponding year in the long slide to
slide into place (with easing).

Go to and stop function just skips everything and stops, and goto and play is
also wrong. I also want it to speed into it and then slow down
a bit like http://www.doncesar.com/timeline/Flash/ but with no bottom slider,
just buttons for each year...

any ideas guys?

I can tell you that the doncesar.com timeline wasn't done with tweening. Its
all actionscript.

A pretty old technique too. Here's a version that was originally done in Flash
4 here:
