what is line two and three saying?  
and why would you have to use an extra curly brace on the second statement to be exeucuted?  
wouldn.t one do the job followed by a semicolon???

dash.onEnterFrame = function() {  
this.\_x += ((Stage.width / 2) - this.\_x) / 5;  
this.\_y += ((Stage.height / 2) - this.\_y) / 5;  
};  
};
