Hello all, and merry x-mas. 🙂 I have a little problem with moving a movieclip ☹ Here’s the code:

the button’s script:

```auto

on (press) {
    _global.mouseXpos = _xmouse;
    _global.mouseYpos = _ymouse;
    _global.charXpos = myCharacter._x;
    _global.charYpos = myCharacter._y;
    // trace("Mouse X:"+mouseXpos+" Y:"+mouseYpos);
    // trace("Character X:"+charXpos+" Y:"+charYpos);
    if (mouseYpos>charYpos || mouseYpos<charYpos) {
        _global.walk.Y = "true";
    }
    if (mouseXpos>charXpos || mouseXpos<charXpos) {
        _global.walk.X = "pending";
    }
}

```

and the movie’s script:

```auto

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
    if (walk.Y == "true") {
        if (charYpos<mouseYpos) {
            charYpos = charYpos+1;
            this._y = charYpos;
        } else if (charYpos>mouseYpos) {
            charYpos = charYpos-1;
            this._y = charYpos;
        } else {
            walk.Y = "false";
        }
    }
}

```

Maybe i can’t see the error cause i haven’t drunk enough coffee yet but… any kind of help would be appreciated. ^^
