how to move a object depending on the increase of the x value?

hey guys, i am making like a volt meter, so i have my line meter at 0, now i have some buttons, depending on the buttons the meter moves left or right, so i try to interpolate the x position but i can't get it to work, for example if the meter is at 10 and i add 40, then the meter should move to 50, i can do this with change attribute but i want my meter to move instead of just changing position.

To make a meter, use replicate or constrain attribute with self.size.width and self.position.x.

Here's a demo using replicate: https://www.dropbox.com/s/apsztaknopx853o/Meter DEMO.zip

You could use the Move To behavior, setting X to the volt meter attribute and setting Y to self.Position Y

If you want that, you'll likely need to use sin/cos. There are lots of good demos related to this. If you open GameSalad and click on New and then search for "rotate" you should find some.
