Needing Help With Actoinscript Programming..

[NoidZ]

Hi,

Yet another thing which I'll probably like for just a few days but here's my question :lol: I'm just learing about actionscripting for games in Flash 8. This is what I what I've got:

function onEnterFrame() {
//buttonpressing
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
player._x += 15;
}
if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {
player._x -= 15;
}

}

I'm creating a breakout game (just as startoff ofcourse) but what the hell am I supposed to do to stop the player when it has reached a certain point?

Thanks!!

I don't know actionscript but the logic behind it is the same:
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) AND player._x IS SMALLER THAN (say) 600{
player._x += 15;
Same idea for moving left.

function onEnterFrame() {
//buttonpressing
if ((Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) && (player._x <=700)) {
player._x += 15;
}
if ((Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) && (player._x >= 30)) {
player._x -= 15;
}

}


This would limit the player "X" position to a range from 30 to 700 inclusive
