</div>

my movement script looks like this:(ActionScript2.0)

onClipEvent (load) {  
jumping = true;  
speed = 0;  
maxmove = 15;  
jump = 0;  
}  
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {  
if (\_root.dead) {  
this.gotoAndStop(“dead”);  
} else {  
speed \*= .85;  
if (dir == “right”) {  
if (speed\>0) {  
dir = “right”;  
} else if (speed\<0) {  
dir = “left”;  
}  
if (dir == “right”){  
this.\_x += speed;  
\_root.\_x -= speed;  
}  
if (dir == “left”) {  
this.\_x += speed;  
\_root.\_x -= speed;  
}  
if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {  
if (speed\>-maxmove) {  
speed–;  
}  
this.gotoAndStop(“run”);  
} else if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {  
if (speed\<maxmove) {  
speed++;  
}  
this.gotoAndStop(“run”);  
} else if (speed\<1 && speed\>-1) {  
speed = 0;  
this.gotoAndStop(“idle”);  
}  
if (Key.isDown(Key.UP) && !jumping) {  
jumping = true;  
}  
if (jumping) {  
this.gotoAndStop(“jump”);  
this.\_y -= jump;  
jump -= .5;  
if (jump\<0) {  
falling = true;  
}  
if (jump\<-15) {  
jump = -15;  
}  
}  
if (\_root.ground.hitTest(this.\_x, this.\_y, true) && falling) {  
jump = 12;  
jumping = false;  
falling = false;  
}  
}  
}

BUT WHEN IM TRYING TO PLAY THE GAME I GET THE FALLOWING ERRORS:

**Statement block must be terminated by '}'**  
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {

**Syntax error.**  
}

That would be great if somebody send me the fixed version becouse i cant fix it…im rly beginner at action sript
