At the end of every statement/line.

```auto

_root.yourMc._x += 5<B>;</B> //ends the statement/line

if (this._X >= 300){
this._x = 300<B>;</B>
this._y = 100<B>;</B>
}

```

If we are talking about MX here, you don’t have to worry about that. Just click the auto format button in the actions panel.
