    There are a couple ways you can move an object using actionscript. 

     

    One is to use the Tween class or a third party tweening class such as Tweenlite. 

     

    Another is to use enterFrame processing to have the object's _X and _y coordinates gradually increase to the final values at constant increments (in the sample code below "yourMC would be replaced with the instance name of your movieclip).

     

    var stepsize = 2; // adjust as desired for speed

     

    this.onEnterFrame = function(){

         if(yourMC._x >= 300){

               delete this.onEnterFrame;

         } else {

               yourMC._x += 2*stepsize;

               yourMC._y += stepsize;

         }

    }

     

    As far as the walking goes, you would need to have the movieclip do the animation of the stepping.

    thank you it's exactly what i need

    about this :

    " delete this.onEnterFrame;"

    it mean that if the condition is correct then stop running the function ??

    thank you again

    Yes, in this case if the value of x is equal or greater than the final value (300) then that line of code will stop the enterframe function from working.
