The last thing is to place a button on Stage and set the ActionScript so that the Movie Clip moves when you roll over or click the button. You will either need to either create a new button and place it on Stage or drag a button out of the common button library. Either:

1. Create your own Button and place it on Stage

   Or: go to Window - Other Panels - Common Libraries - Buttons and drag a button onto the Main Stage.

     My Button:
   
     ![][1]
   

2. Select the new: Button

3. If the Actions Panel is closed, open it: Window - Actions (F9)

4. Type (or copy & paste) the following actions:

     *on (rollOver) {
        yTargetMC = 200;
     }*
   
         **Note**: The target number must be different to the number in frame 1 otherwise the Movie Clip will not move. Change the target number to a number that suits the position that you want the Movie Clip to stop at.
   
   
   
         As an alternative make the Movie Clip move *on (release)* like this:
   
             *on (release) {
                yTargetMC = 200;
             }*
   

5. Create as many other buttons as you want stop positions: Create more Buttons

     I created one more button:
   
     ![][2]
   

6. Add the above code to you new buttons but change the target position. Like this:

     *on (release) {
        yTargetMC = -600;
     }*
