Hi guys,

Been a while since i touched actionscript and forgot a simple If statement using \_x.

THis is the code that I have.

```auto
onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
this._x = this._x +.5; 
}

```

Now when this.\_x reaches 400 pixels on the screen, I want it to return back to zero. How do I do that again?

```auto

If (this._x > this._x + 300){
this._x = 0;
}

```

I can’t seem to get it right. Any help will be appreciated, thanks:)
