I have one movie clip ‘MAIN\_MC’ which contains another movie clip ‘SUB\_MC’ which have the same AS but differernt speeds to move, but they move in union with eachother as if they are grouped!

CODE on each clip being:

ClipEvent (load) {  
//this sets the initial x position of our clip  
this.\_x = 500;  
}  
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {  
//this moves our clip 5 pixels to the right every frame until it reaches a certain point  
if (this.\_x\>10) {  
this.\_x += -20;  
}  
}

What am I doing wrong?
