Hi,  
I’m new to this flash and wanted to learn but I got stucked here.

I found this flash tutorial about old scratchy movie:

[http://www.flashkit.com/tutorials/Special\_Effects/Old\_Scra-Black-754/index.php](http://www.flashkit.com/tutorials/Special_Effects/Old_Scra-Black-754/index.php)

Tells me to create a movie clip “line” and “actions”

and create a line as big as the movie: 400

Then tells me to put this on the action panel of “actions”

```auto
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
 _root.line._x=random(400);
}

```

I did that and it tells me to test the movie so I did but I get this error:

```auto
**Error** Symbol=actions, layer=Layer 1, frame=1:Line 1: Clip events are permitted only for movie clip instances
	 onClipEvent(enterFrame){

Total ActionScript Errors: 1 Reported Errors: 1

```

But I went ahead and did everything but I still get the error. I tried emailing the tutor but I guess its a dead email. Please help. What am I doing wrong?
