I am telling the truth this code wont work.

I got this of [Macromedia.com](http://Macromedia.com) and it wont work.

```auto
newBall.prototype.moveBall = function () { 
   this.MovieClip._x += this.deltaX;
   this.MovieClip._y += this.deltaY;
   //check if ball hits top of screen
   if (this.MovieClip._y<0) {
     this.flipY();
   }
   if (this.MovieClip._x<GamePlayArea[0] || this.MovieClip._
x>GamePlayArea[2]) {
     this.flipX();
   }
}
   if (this.MovieClip._x<GamePlayArea[0] || this.MovieClip._
x>GamePlayArea[2]) {
     this.flipX();
   }

```

It will not work!!! I also did set the GamePlayArea

the code seems syntatically correct, even tested it in flash. do you actually have an object defined called “newBall”?
