I am trying to create a menu system that has several buttons flying out. I have put the following script on my buttons and it just wont work, I cant understand why not. I am using Flash 8, as2 and a flash 8 player

onClipEvent(load){  
tx=100;  
ty=100;  
k=.2;  
damp=.9;  
}  
onClipEvent(enterFrame){  
if(!drag){  
ax=(tx-\_x)_k;  
ay=(ty-\_y)k;  
vx+=ax;  
vy+=ay;  
vx=damp;  
vy_=damp;  
\_x+=vx;  
\_y+=vy;  
}  
}
