I can’t figure out how to make a movie clip move out of the way when your keyboard controled character is over another movie clip.

Here is the code i tried:  
if ((\_root.button.hitTest(\_x, \_y+radius, true)) or (\_root.button.hitTest(\_x, \_y-radius, true)) or (\_root.button.hitTest(\_x+radius, \_y, true)) or (\_root.button.hitTest(\_x-radius, \_y, true))) {  
gate2.\_y -= 3  
}  
button and gate2 are my instance names.
