Smoothly from Point A, too Point B?

[Random]

But he does need an event that sets x = b. AND two alterable values per variable that he wants to smoothen. Now which solution is more complicated?
I think his is simpler.

I love the way everyone is giving their most complicated solutions

Of course you can just use the boucing ball movement too and set its direction and allow it start moving when you want etc.

Great links random, btw.

Yes, of course, but mine is "perfect", cause there's no "cheating", and come on 2 alterables, i don't think he couldn't handle it.

Well it may be mathematically perfect, but is it perfect for games? E.g. it will (roughly spoken) take infinitely long until b reaches a (so b <> a will always be true). His solution will reach the point a bit faster too, while still being smooth. Besides it is 2 alterable values PER value that you want to smooth. Chances are he doesn't only want to do it with x but also with y and maybe more. It piles up. Besides using lots of alterable values is rather inflexible (which I still consider quite a flaw in MMF's design, because it makes it nasty to copy code from one object to another, if their "layout" of values doesn't exactly match up - it is also VERY annoying to rearrange them and easy to make a mistake - in scripting you'd just give it a name and the name is the reference, as opposed to the position in the list of values *ARGH*).
