Space Invaders Game

[N64MARIO64]

Hi, I am working on a space invaders type game. I would like to know the code to make the x pos to move up and down when the up & down arrows keys are pressed. Thanks -mario

This would go on a movie clip:

onClipEvent(load){
	speed = 5;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
	(Key.isDown(key.DOWN))?(this._y+=speed):null;
	(Key.isDown(key.UP))?(this._y-=speed):null;
	updateAfterEvent();
}

What flash are you using? I am using 4. I cannot put codes on movie clips(or that i know of you can't) Can I just put it on the movie itself?

I am using Flash MX. I can't recall what the F4 syntax would be - it's been some time since I've used it.

Check flashkit.com if no one else posts. Here is one I found after a quick search

You can use that in conjunction with setProperty and that will hopefully get you rolling.

I don't know anything about Flash4 to, but I do know that in the beginning, I also had problems with where and how to put the code. Click once on a movieclip, and when its selected, then you should be able to type in the actions window. Greetz,
