This should be too hard to create simple ai, for the computer puck i would put

```auto
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
dist = this._y-puck_mc._y;
// i'd put 1 instead of 0, just so it moves smoother
if(dist>1){
//speed is anything eg 5
this._y -= speed;
}
if(dist<-1){
this._y += speed;
}
}

```

that should work, and if u want to make the game harder or easier, it’s pretty simple just increase/decrease speed
