moving a button sinosoidally

You might want to show your code so someone can see what it is that you have tried. As far as the description goes, do you mean that you need to move the button along a path that looks like an artificially defined sine wave or is the button supposed to move in response to some external source that is producing a sine wave?

Naturally you may define variables and increment and decrement them using a loop that describes moving something along a path that represents a sine wave by increasing the rise and run to a point and the continuing to increase the run while decreasing the rise. If the variables incremented and decremented in the loop are legitimate screen coordinates you can apply these to the top and left properties of the button and move it along an apparent sine wave-like path.

Know the answer? Post it — somebody with the same question will find it here.
