Have a graphic simply follow path/move & fade IN?

Lets say that I have a graphic. Lets say its a smiley face. And all I want to do is have the smile face move/float from the bottom of the screen, and move/float to the top of the screen?

What is the very easiest way to do this? Can I some how draw a line/path for the smiley face to follow when it goes from the bottom of the screen to the top? I can't seem to figure it out other than telling it to go in a certain direction for a certain number of pixels... but that seems a bit confusing/lots of trial and error until I get the damn smiley face to go exactly where I want it.. so I'm hoping I'm missing something.

Similarly, lets assume I want the smiley face to fade in... what is the easiest way to do that? I see its easy to fade out.. but not fade in. What am I missing?

There's a great behavior someone wrote called "litetween" grab it and have a go. It does all of the things you want it to really easily.

here's the link

If you'd like to do it without plugins, you could use the method in the moveto example in the new project dialog.

to fade in and fade out I usually use two fade behaviours and set the first to fade in and the second to fade out.
