This worked.

You have a good point, of course. But I am going to do this anyway. I will
be calling this mc many times. Besides, I firmly believe that the "right"
way to do this is calling the event as I enter frames. I have to learn it
sooner or later if I'm ever going to do anything substantial with Flash.
That much is obvious to me. Actually, the below code works, but isn't pretty
on screen so will have to be tweaked:
public function myLeftHand(e:Event=null):void
{
var mcHandInstance2:mcHand = new mcHand();
addChild(mcHandInstance2);
mcHandInstance2.x = 800;
mcHandInstance2.y = 200;
if (e.target.currentFrame == 20) TweenMax.to(mcHandInstance2, 2, {x:200,
startAt:{totalProgress:1}}).reverse();
}

Beno, The problem with the above line is pretty obvious. It is so obvious,
that I am going to let you find it for yourself. If you look at some
examples using TweenMax, it should jump out at you.
You're right. I didn't look at examples because I was focused on counting
parenthesis and braces! Sorry.
