Moving An image

I am having a problem moving an image...I know how to move an image straight up and straight down..but how would I move an image from one location to any location on the screen. I will appreciate any help

You will need to find the angle between the both of them. Once you have this, you can do :

image_x = image_x + cos(angle)
image_y = image_y + sin(angle)

To get the angle, you need the two points. Start point (x1,y1) and end point (x2,y2). Then:

angle = ATan2( y2 - y1, x2 - x1 )

I'm at college the now so i can't write up a demo, but the above will work :)

If you want to make the image move faster, mulitply the Sin and Cos numbers:

speed= 2

image_x = image_x + (Cos(angle) * speed)
image_y = image_y + (Sin(angle) * speed)

wow...thank you

is there a way to get the image to stop..at an exact point??

Well, your stop point would be your end point :)

Just compare x and y co-ords, then stop the movement. :)

Gotta love that Scottish dialect on the definite article. These are classic examples and you used the both of them in one posting ! Aw... the nice !
