i have made a class file player and another class file landscape. the player class file has meathods that allow the player to move. where would i put code to make the landscape move with the player? would the code go into the player class file or the document class file? i dont know how i could link the landscape movement with hte player movement ☹

player.as class file

```auto
//the package
package actionscript{
    import flash.display.*;
    import flash.events.*;
    import flash.media.*;
    import actionscript.utils.KeyObject;
    import flash.ui.*;

    public class player extends MovieClip {

        private var pspeed:Number = 5;
        private var key:KeyObject;
        private var stageRef:Stage;
        

        public function player(stageRef:Stage) {
            trace("Player is on");
            addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, loop, false, 0, true);// add a loop
            this.stageRef = stageRef;
            key = new KeyObject(stageRef);
            

        }
        public function loop(e:Event):void {
            
             var playerHalfWidth:uint = this.width /2;
          var playerHalfHeight:uint = this.height /2;
          
            if (key.isDown(Keyboard.LEFT)) {
                x -= pspeed;
            } else if (key.isDown(Keyboard.RIGHT)) {
                x += pspeed;

            }
            if (key.isDown(Keyboard.UP)) {
                y -= pspeed;
            } else if (key.isDown(Keyboard.DOWN)) {
                y += pspeed;

            }
            if (x > stageRef.stageWidth) {
                x = stageRef.stageWidth;

            } else if (x < 0) {
                x = 0;

            }
            if (y > stageRef.stageHeight) {
                y = stageRef.stageHeight;

            } else if (y < 0) {
                y = 0;

            }
            if (this.x +playerHalfWidth > stageRef.stageWidth) {
                this.x = stageRef.stageWidth - playerHalfWidth;

            } else if (this.x - playerHalfWidth < 0) {

                this.x = 0 + playerHalfWidth;

            }
            
            if (this.y +playerHalfHeight > stageRef.stageHeight) {
                this.y = stageRef.stageHeight - playerHalfHeight;

            } else if (this.y - playerHalfHeight < 0) {

                this.y = 0 + playerHalfHeight;

            }
        }
    }
}

```

engine.as document class file

package actionscript

        private var thelandscape:land;
        
        
        public function engine()
        {
            trace ("Engine is on");
            theplayer = new player(stage); //human player

            thelandscape = new land(); //flashlight
            
            stage.addChild(thelandscape); // adding the flashlight
            stage.addChild(theplayer); // adding the room
             theplayer.x = stage.stageWidth / 2; //positioning the player in x
            theplayer.y = stage.stageHeight / 2;            
            thelandscape.x = stage.stageWidth / 2; //positioning the player in x
            thelandscape.y = stage.stageHeight / 2;            
            
            
            
        }
        
        
        
    }

landscape class file

```auto
package actionscript

    import flash.display.MovieClip;
    
 
    public class land extends MovieClip
