Ok, let me try and put this as simple as I can..
Every song(.mid,mp3, etc) has a BPM(Beats per minute) such as a slower song would have a low BPM, and a fast one would have a high BPM.

I need some help with a formula that if I have the BPM set to like...150 an object I have on the screen that MUST be continuesly scrolling down(with pixels, not step) hit a certain spot at a certain time, so that the beat is on time.

That would be alot better then what I am currently having to do..

FinalFantasyGamer	Ahh couldn't you find the total amount of pixels (say your screen's height is 13, do 13x32 to get 416. Then divide 416 by the BPM to get the amount of pixels it should jump down.
