i have this code :

onClipEvent(load){  
up=0  
down=0  
thrust=2  
drag=1  
}  
onClipEvent(enterFrame){  
if(Key.isDown(Key.UP)){  
up-=thrust  
\_y+=up  
}  
if(!Key.isDown(Key.UP)){  
if(up\<0){  
up+=drag  
\_y+=up  
}  
}  
if(Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)){  
\_rotation+=5  
}  
if(Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)){  
\_rotation-=5  
}  
}

why does it rotate and not move in its direction ? does anyone know
