Here is all the code mentioned in this video. At this point, this is all applied to one MovieClip:

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if(Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)){
this._x-=10;
}
}
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if(Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)){
this._x+=10;
}
}
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if(Key.isDown(Key.UP)){
this._y-=10;
}
}
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if(Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)){
this._y+=10;
}
}

[dakon11]

you can write this to:

onClipEvent(load){

speed=10;

}

onClipEvent(enterFrame){

if(key.isDown(Key.Right))

_x+=speed;

}

Just keep in mind that this is the extreme basics here, so I chose not to cover variables right away

[choustonator]

It says I have an syntax error..

Heres my code

onClipEvent(enterFrame){

if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {

this._x -= 10;

}

}

[roojames]

Try removing the spaces. The one between "if" and the bracket is where I think the problem is.

Ok, this is the tried and true working code:

onClipEvent(enterFrame){

if(Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)){

this._x-=10;

}

}

Awesome vid, it would have helped me a lot if I didn't already know it :)

But seriously, when i was trying to find out how to do this stuff, I scoured the internet for ages without finding anything that actually explained what it all did. And when I did work it out, I used the variables method that dakon11 mentioned, but this ways much easier.

I laughed at "random semi colon here, god knows why"
