Hi all,  
First off, im extremely frustrated with flash. Just had to get that off my chest. Here is my problem.

I am simply trying to use actionscript to move a movie clip on the y axis. I have got it to move so far but the end result varies. When I move the clip further down on the stage it seems the clip ends further up than I want it. I tried putting in the x/y cordinates exactly yet it ignores it.

Here is my code. BTW, if I increase the speed variable to say 40/50 or 100, it moves the movieclip higher and higher on the stage… I added the file as an attachment to this post.

onClipEvent (load) {  
speed = 100;  
endat = 210;  
this.\_x = 379;  
this.\_y = 280;  
}  
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {  
if (this.\_y \> endat) {  
this.\_y -= speed;  
} else {  
boxbg.stop ();  
}  
}
