It would be very nice if the move function were able to work on the player.

ex. some kind of NPC that warps you back to the beginning of a level.
function onPlayerTouchsMe() {
setani("bumper_warper",this.color_array);
disabledefmovement;
player.move(newx-player.x,newy-player.y,3,8);
}

function onPlayerMovementFinished() {
setani("idle","");
enabledefmovement;
}

as opposed to:

function onPlayerTouchsMe() {
player.x = newx;
player.y = newy;
setani("idle","");
}

wouldn't that just look so much smoother.
of course you can already do this clientside in a timeout, just not quite so nicely.
