Im makin an arkanoid game for a school assignment, and run into a problem. The actionscript for the ball which ive written below seems to be wrong, but i dont know wat.  
Instead of the ball bouncing off the paddle, the ball kinda rolls off to the side of it after making contact. Please HELP!!

onClipEvent (load) { movespeed = 10; }  
onClipEvent (enterFrame)  
{  
\_x += movespeed;  
\_y += movespeed;  
{if (\_parent.paddle.hitTest (this))  
{  
\_x += movespeed;  
\_y += -movespeed;  
}  
}  
}
