ok i have a question, i am working on a platform game and i want to know how to make one clip stop. how do you make a clip stop moving??

i used this script on the clip

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {  
if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {  
this.\_x = this.\_x-12;  
this.gotoAndPlay(“left”)  
}  
}  
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {  
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {  
this.\_x = this.\_x +12;  
this.gotoAndPlay(“right”)  
}  
}
