anyone can tell me how to stop the animation when i am not pressing the up key?

i tried using -\> if(\_root.player.walk == false) then i stop();

but end up the character cant move even when i press the up key. =(

Anyone can help ?

Note\*  
i can’t take out this portion of code from the character movie clip in frame 1:

trace(“execute 1”);  
\_root.player.\_y-=2;

```
 onEnterframe = function() {
   _root.player._y-=1;
   trace("execute 2");
 }

```

and i can’t take out this portion of code from the character movie clip in frame 10:

\_root.player.\_y-=2;

Because my teacher told me not to remove it … sigh~
