Sorry for the many treads if posted, but im a hard worker ;).

ok now i need to know is:

I have a moviclip that contains a guy that is walking, i made a stop(); action

In the first frame. on the movieclip actions i wrote:

[color=red]onClipEvent (load) {  
speed = 10;  
}  
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {  
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {  
\_rotation += 20;  
}  
if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {  
\_rotation -= 20;  
}  
if (Key.isDown(Key.UP)) {  
\_y -= speed_Math.cos(\_rotation_(Math.PI/180));  
\_x += speed_Math.sin(\_rotation_(Math.PI/180));  
}  
if (Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)) {  
\_y += speed_Math.cos(\_rotation_(Math.PI/180));  
\_x -= speed_Math.sin(\_rotation_(Math.PI/180));  
}  
}[/color]  
[color=#ff0000][/color]  
if i put a gotoAndPlay() action like this:  
[color=#ff0000]if (Key.isDown(Key.UP)) {  
\_y -= speed_Math.cos(\_rotation_(Math.PI/180));  
\_x += speed_Math.sin(\_rotation_(Math.PI/180));  
[color=lime]gotoAndPlay(2)[/color]}  
if (Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)) {  
\_y += speed_Math.cos(\_rotation_(Math.PI/180));  
\_x -= speed_Math.sin(\_rotation_(Math.PI/180));  
[color=#00ff00]gotoAndPlay(2)[/color]}  
}[/color]  
[color=#ff0000][/color]  
[color=black]it wil play the animation but if u hold the (key UP) it wil stop at the first frame[/color]

How can i make it so it will loop without releasing the up key?

Thnx in advance Pancake
