Hi, I followed an older tut on this site about moving an MC using AS.

I can get it to do what I want with the code below when moving from left to right, and I assumed that by using negative values I could get it to go from left to right. But it won’t work. Can anyone help, as I’d like to set the movement r to l.

This code works left to right

onClipEvent(enterFrame) {  
speed = 2;  
if(this.\_x\< 160){  
this.\_x += speed;  
}  
}
