I’m trying to write the Actionscript code that will move my MC to a certain point then reset. In other words, I want my MC to move left until it reaches -650 of the X position then start all over again from 750 of the X position.\r\rHere’s the code I’ve written which doesn’t work:\r\ronClipEvent (enterFrame) {\r \_x-=2;\r&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp }\rif (\_x =-670\r \_X = 740\r\rAny aid would be appreciated immensely.

no he posted twice in the same day, accidently (i am guess since they are 3 minutes apart, must have hit the button twice). And Sinf decided to answer in this thread instead of the one that everyone else already commented in…
