[COLOR=Navy]Hi guys,

I had this ship working in the timeline and then took it into an .as file for a custom class and now it won’t work…  
it is saved as Ship.as

            var uForce:Number=0;

            var rForce:Number=0;
            this.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN,moveShip);

            this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, addForceVectors)
            function addForceVectors(event:Event)
                {
                    this.x +=rForce-lForce;
                    this.y +=gravityConstant -uForce;
                    gravityConstant +=.1;

[COLOR=Navy]the traces are coming up undefined with no errors  
the timeline frame 1 actions code is…[/COLOR]
