I am trying to define the play area of my game and I have detailed the code as follows but it doesn’t want to work, my character keeps moving outwith the area when I test the game, can anyone help a novice?

stop();  
Mouse.hide();  
geisha.gotoAndStop(1);  
geisha.move = {x:0, y:0};  
geisha.speed = 5;  
rightWall = 550;  
leftWall = 0;  
topWall = 0;  
bottomWall = 400;  
geishaHeight = 119.4;  
geishaWidth = 44.5;  
geisha.onEnterFrame = function(){  
this.move.x = Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT) - Key.isDown(Key.LEFT);  
this.move.y = Key.isDown(Key.DOWN) - Key.isDown(Key.UP);  
if (this.move.x || this.move.y){  
this.\_x += this.move.x \* this.speed;  
this.\_y += this.move.y \* this.speed;

}  
}
