Ok I have a clip that I want to slide on x axis to a certain point and then start over at it's begining once it reaches a certain point.

Simple for you guys I know, unfortunatley i'm retarted!

here is what I have:

Code: 
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
	_x -= 1;
	if (_root.slide>=-1088) {
		_root.slide_x = 300;
		updateAfterEvent();
	}
}

So clip slide, when you get to negative 1088 start over and 300 and slide again?

It slides, just keeps going and going and going :)

Code: 
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
    _x -=1;
	//trace (_root.slide._x);
	if (_root.slide._x == -1088) {
        	_root.slide._x = 300;
        	//updateAfterEvent();
    }
}

Is this clip event attached to the clip 'slide'?

If so the _root paths aren't necessary - at the moment you have a reference to _x and another to _root.slide._x - you can just refer to _x throughout without the path.

Code: 
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
	_x -=10;
	trace(this._x);
	if (_x < -1088) {
		_x = 484;
		updateAfterEvent();
	}
}

The main reason it's wasn't working (using ==) is that since your mc's original position wasn't set to an exact pixel coordinate, substracting -10 to it, it never really equaled -1088, but maybe someting like -1088.6, so the if statement was never actually true.

For an extra tweak you can take out the updateAfterEvent() line as it doesn't actually add anything to an enterFrame script except a load on the processor. It's only really of use when you're doing something like an onMouseMove...
