[FONT=Arial]Hello im a newbie and i need some help from someone who knows a little ac. well here mi problem:

im trying to learn ac and im making a little character that moves up down left and right ok so i CAN do it but everytime i hit the arrow key it only moves a litle to the direction i ordered it to move. what i want it to do is that when i press a key he moves nonstop to that direction i wrote this

[/FONT] [COLOR=Red]if(Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)){  
this.\_y+=speed;  
}[/COLOR]  
so what code should i change in order for it to move nonstop?

And the other thing is that while my movieclip is moving i dont want it to be able to move to another direction (for example i push down arrow so it stars to move but if i press right arrow while its moving down nothing happens… just moves down until a wall stops it) until it stops moving(hits a wall)

would it be something like this?  
i[COLOR=Red]f(Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)){  
this.\_y+=speed;  
if(Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)){  
Disable.Key.DOWN[COLOR=Blue] (i dont know if disable is a command! but something like that to make [/COLOR]  
Disable.Key.UP [/COLOR][COLOR=Red][COLOR=Blue]the other keys not to work while one is pushed down =P)[/COLOR][/COLOR]  
[COLOR=Red]Disable.Key.LEFT  
Disable:Key.Right  
}[/COLOR]

In advance thank for any help you can give me 🙂 =)
