FMX: can not -= _x value past zero with small numbers

programming flash
1

Hello,
I am having a little trouble understanding why my code is not functioning. It works if I subtract and combine numbers above .1 but if I use a number below .1 the _x and _y values stop at 0. I would like the _x and _y values to go into the negative. I am using Flash MX.

function movePastCorner(mc){
mc._x = 2;
mc._y = 2;
mc.onEnterFrame = function(){
this._x -= 0.01;
this._y -= 0.02;
trace("X = "+this._x);
trace(“Y = “+this._y);
trace(”==============”);
};
}

I would greatly appreciate any guidence, thank you,
