To move the object from p1 to p2:
(this is pseudocode, not just applicable to flash)

p1x = the object's current x position
p1y = the object's current y position

p2x = the target destination x position
p2y = the target destination y position

dx = p2x - p1x (the difference between the points along x)
dy = p2y - p1y (the difference between the points along y)

dx = dx * .5 (the difference divided by 2)
dy = dy * .5

finally, move the object along the path like this:

objectx = p1x + dx
objecty = p1y + dy

Loop this until p1x = p2x and p1y = p2y

This will make the object leap towards it's destination point, and settle
into position. Note that the .5 can be changed to any fraction of 1 to
change the speed of the approach.

Ok I got a movie clip to stick to my mouse on movie start so that I can
get the x and y properties of the mouse. How do I get it so that the
movie clip accelerates and decelrates into position instead of just
exactly following it?
