[LEFT][FONT=Arial]Hello i need some help from someone who knows a little ac. well here mi problem:

```
   im trying to learn ac and im making a little character that moves up down left and right ok so i CAN do it but everytime i hit the arrow key it only moves a litle to the direction i ordered it to move. what i want it to do is that when i press a key he moves nonstop to that direction i wrote this

```

[QUOTE]

so what code should i change in order for it to move nonstop?

And the other thing is that while my movieclip is moving i dont want it to be able to move to another direction (for example i push down arrow so it stars to move but if i press right arrow while its moving down nothing happens… just moves down until a wall stops it) until it stops moving(hits a wall)

would it be something like this?
