Hi everyone,  
I have a basic animation question. I am doing a banner for a website that I already have up and running. The animation that I want is a movieClip to slowly move up then down then up then down…ect. Basically a never ending loop.This is the code that I have so far;

onClipEvent(load) {  
speedY=3;  
}  
onClipEvent(enterFrame) {  
this.\_y +=speedY;  
if (this.\_y \>=500) {  
speedY-=speedY;  
} else if(this.\_y \<=0) {  
speedY-=speedY;  
}  
}

The clip doesn’t move and I haven’t figured out why. Maybe this is something that is beyond my knowledge? I’m pretty much new to this but I’m trying to learn. :dilbert:  
Thanks!
