Help: Looped moving actors

Ok so I have a game where a collectable item moves left and right on an infinite loop, I had it set like this, basically a boolean attribute set to false and on a 2 second timer it switch between false and true and move accordingly. The problem posed when I added a retry button, when you reset the scene it starts moving from its current point it was previous to resetting, so it goes through walls etc. Is there a formula to make it move from 1 point to another that will not have this problem?

    Assuming horizontal movement . . . .

    Constrain Self.X to AAA*sin(game.time*BBB)+CCC


    AAA = range of movement, how far left and right you want the actor to move.
    BBB = speed.
    CCC = centre point of movement.
