[AS2] How can I change my characters coordinates?

[Grimpo]

Ok, so for my class I have decided to make a game in flash, but i'm not used to flash code.
This is what I have so far, but i'm trying to make it so once the character makes it to the opposite side of the screen, or once his x coordinate is more than 500, his x coordinate gets reset to 0, so he like warps back. I need help, Thanks.

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (Key.isDown(Key.UP))
{
_y -= 10;
}
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (Key.isDown(Key.DOWN))
{
_y -= -10;
}
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT))
{
_x -= 10;
}
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT))
{
_x -= -10;
}
}

onClipEvent (enterFrame)
{
if (player._x >= 550)
{
player._x == 0;
}
}

I need help so that once the player makes it to the side of the screen, he like warps back to the left... Thanks

{
player._x == 0;
}
}

Single equal sign:

player._x = 0;

= sets the right-side's value to the left-side variable
== checks if right-side is equals to left-side

and useful Flash tips, don't add a new onEnterFrame loop for each movement, have all the code under one single loop

Please refrain from double-posting, thanks

Ok, it didn't work though, I was wondering if i could use the _moveTo script? how could i do that?

[DRizzle]

I think that _moveTo is only for the drawing functions, such as drawing lines, shapes and whatnot. What I would do is:

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
     if(Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)){
          this._x-=5;//or whatever your speed is
     }
     if(Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)){
          this._x+=5;//or whatever your speed is
     }
     if(Key.isDown(Key.UP)){
          this._y-=5;//or whatever your speed is
     }
     if(Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)){
          this._y+=5;//or whatever your speed is
     }
     if(this._x>=Stage.width+this._width){
          this._x=0;
     }
}

I think that should work (I have flash on a different computer so I can't test it right now).
I hope that solved your problem.
