Could someone please tell me how to get the xmovement action script to loop?

This is the code I am using at the moment:

onClipEvent(enterFrame) {  
speed = 1;  
this.\_y += speed;  
}

Thank you.

I’ve added the code:

onClipEvent(enterFrame) {  
speed = 1;  
this.\_y += speed;  
}

hi there  
the answer is easy you only have to tell your movie clip that when the y coordinate gets to the final point you want it gets back to the beggining  
suppose we want a movieclip to move from point 0 to point 100

onClipEvent(enterFrame) {  
speed = 1;

if this.\_y\>=100{  
this.\_y=0  
this.\_y += speed;}  
else  
{

i hope i could be helpful  
this.\_y += speed;}  
}

Hello:

For some I couldn’t get your code to work.  
But, I thank you for your help.

I ended up using the following code:

onClipEvent(load){  
origY = this.\_x = 1;  
}

onClipEvent(enterFrame) {  
speed = 1;  
this.\_x \> 300 ? this.\_x = origY : this.\_x += speed;  
}

Thanks again.

This’ll do the same thing that your code does, just without the variable.  
I’d do this:  
[AS]  
onClipEvent(load){  
speed=1;  
\_x=1;  
}  
onClipEvent(enterFrame){  
\_x+=speed;  
if(\_x\>=300){  
\_x=1;  
}  
[/AS]
