Hey, iv been working on using actionscript 1.0 with a java api. Im having only one problem, im trying to make just an image move on screen however when i push right the entire contents of any object on screen gets moved as well. Iv tried various things. I have uploaded the .FLA file on [http://www.freefilehosting.net/basicscript](http://www.freefilehosting.net/basicscript). I have attached my code into this thread so if anyone could take a look id appreciate it.

As i said, i just need a way to move the image without moving the movieclip attached to the stage as well, any help resolving this would be amazing!
