I’m newbie in Flash and action script,just start learning T\_\_T…

onClipEvent (load) {  
speed=10;  
}  
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {  
if (key.isDown(key.RIGHT)) {  
\_x+=speed;  
} else if (key.isDown(key.LEFT)) {  
\_x-=speed;  
}  
if (key.isDown(key.UP)) {  
\_y-=speed;  
} else if (key.isDown(key.DOWN)) {  
\_y+=speed;  
}  
}
