How do I make a Parabola?
I want to make a sprite go back and forth on a parabola and draw it using the pen tool. How do I make a single parabola without using sine or cosine?

I now the formula and everything, but how do I implament it as a movement?
I scripted it before as "set y to x-position*x-position..." and so on
