how to make an animated image move across screen?

[lilzz]

I have an animated image on screen. How do I make it move across the screen in the easiest method? I don't want to use complicated methods or other framework like coco2d.

I like to have the simplest method.

Use view animation, like this:

[UIView beginAnimations: @"move" context: nil];
animated_view.center = newCenter;
[UIView commitAnimations];

The system will animate the view's movement to a new location.

What if I have other objects that I don't want to move. would the UIView animation affect that?

This animation only affects what you write between the beginAnimation and commitAnimation lines.
You can set properties for the animation with e.g. [UIView setAnimationDuration:5.0]; and so on. The web is full of information about this kind of animation.
