Alright, I have the basic Asteroid code (from scratch), and I want my ship to have a maximum velocity.  
I gave it a maximum xspeed and yspeed, however, if I am on an angle less than 45, it will reach the maximum x-speed, but the y-speed will contiunue to increase.  
Any tips?:kir:

i think the samples folder in where you installed flash should have something that can help you.
