well im making a game and i want my character to run on some icey tiles and when he stops he will slide a bit, ive tried saying basically if(character is standing on a slippery tile){  
if (speed \>= 5){  
speed = 5;  
character.x += speed_dirx; //speed = 5  
speed -= 0.5;  
}  
if (speed \<= -5){  
speed = 5;  
character.x += speed_dirx; //speed = -5  
speed += 0.5;  
} else (speed == 0){  
speed = 0;  
char.gotoAndStop(“idle”);  
}  
}

but it doesnt work at all, i know its close, but way off at the same time, so could someone answer this question for me?
