motion guide with actionscript?

[skitzer]

Is there a way to write a scripted animation like creating a motion guide in actionscript?  I want a ball to move along a set path that never changes.  The path is the same, but certain objects move along it depending on user choices so I can't do the animation at design time.

If the path can be described in mathematical ways, usually regular forms (in example waves using sine) AS could be an option, if the path is irregular, then could be much more difficult (or almost impossible)

The path is an oval or a set size.  I've been using this prototype to do it, but it is in actionscript 1 code: http://proto.layer51.com/d.aspx?f=952

I posted on here asking for an alternative to this prototype, but in AS2.

you could write the necessary coords. to an array and then cycle through them using setInterval.

Yeah, I did that now.  I thought it'd be harder than it was.  Thanks folks
