```auto
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
     var speed = 1;
     if (speed == 10) {
          delete this.onEnterFrame;
     } else {
          this._x += speed;
     }
}

```

But there are actually many different ways of doing this. You could even use the hidden tween function to move it to a certain point and have it stop. It’ll look smoother, and you can easily add some nice elasticity effects. 😉
