I am trying to make the movieclip move to the right then when it gets to the end of the stage go back to the left. I tried different codes but still lost. here is the code I am using:  
on (release) {  
this.\_x = this.\_x+5;  
if (this.\_x\>=550){  
} else (this.\_x =this.\_x-5);  
}  
I am trying to make it go 5 pixels on(release) and the back 5 pixels on(release)  
when it gets to the edge of the stage.
