Hi, Im following a simple tutorial for creating a spacegame, simple game where a space ship shoots bullets and hits objects, using keyboard input… I have the following script, which makes the object move around the stage…

this.onEnterFrame = function()  
{   
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT))   
{   
Ship.\_x += 10;   
} else if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT))   
{   
Ship.\_x -= 10;   
} else if (Key.isDown(Key.UP))   
{   
Ship.\_y -= 10;   
} else if (Key.isDown(Key.DOWN))   
{   
Ship.\_y += 10;   
}  
}

Now Im doing this for a University assignment, and a reqwuirement is it needs to use AS3! Well when i run the application in AS3 it does not recognise the UP DOWN RIGHT and LEFT values…however, it does run fine using AS2…is there anyway i can incorporate this script into AS3? Thanks.
