[Request] Movement using Arrow Keys

Ihave tried to make a very simple flash game before (moving an object with the arrow keys) and i failed miserably, due to one annyoying error. "Else does not meet if" or something like that. Could somebody please help me resolve this issue and maybe even help me build on my flash game?

P.S. I'm new to these forums, as you can see by my post count.

Well by the error given I would assume there's a problem with your If statement - an Else can only accompany a preceding If. The following code should solve your problem and make your object move using the Arrow keys


	Code: onClipEvent(load) { //Set speed of movement speed = 10; } onClipEvent(enterFrame) { //Movement Horizontally if(Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) { _x += speed; } else if(Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) { _x -= speed; } //Movement Vertically if(Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)) { _y += speed; } else if(Key.isDown(Key.UP)) { _y -= speed; } }
