    How so? How far? In a circle or a line? The more information you can give the better. What are you trying to accomplish?

    Oh sorry.
    I am thinking of putting an actor at the bottom of the screen.
    The actor will move left end to right end to left end again in a straight line throughout the game.
    Just like a robot goal keeper automatically move left and right to block ball.
    Thanks for the help.

    If it's a goal keeper your probably better to constrain the X or Y position (depending on view) to the Ball? You could have it lag a little so it reacts faster or slower to the X Y of the Ball.

    Or if you simply want to keep it moving left right left use interpolate.

    self.position.X to self.position+320

    If self position = 320 Interpolate 0

    Problem solved.
    I created two invisible wall on both end.
    The actor will bounce from left to right to left and so forth.
    Cheers! :)

    Make sure it doesn't slow down over time...depending on what you have used to move.

    Thank you Utopian.
    I will definitely use your method as my method has too much flaws.
