Im in the very start of trying to make a little game.

[http://megaswf.com/view/03ef54187afe17ae7d18be0a8820605e.html](http://megaswf.com/view/03ef54187afe17ae7d18be0a8820605e.html)

The problem is when you hold down the up arrow(speed) + left arrow(left turn) + space bar(brake). But the same combination, just changing the left turn with a right turn(right arrow), that works.

Any ideas?

The code is boat badly written and partly in Norwegian, sorry, but here it is:

```auto
