userKey= new Object();
userKey.onKeyDown= function(){
if (Key.getCode() == Key.SPACE){
your_mc._x+=10;
}
}
Key.addListener(userKey)

that will get you moving. well that is in mx terms, anyway.

erm… there is some errors. can u explain the functions? thx

hmm the errors must be because of the difference in mx and mx 2004. it ran good for me in mx.


//creates a new object that will monitor keystrokes
userKey= new Object();

//when a keypress is detected, the userKey object will perform this function
userKey.onKeyDown= function(){

//if space bar is down, add 10 to the x value on your_mc
if (Key.getCode() == Key.SPACE){
your_mc._x+=10;
}
}

//add the userKey object to the Key class
Key.addListener(userKey)

userKey is an object that detects keypresses on your keyboard. the function is what it does when the spacebar is pressed.
