FLASH: another question for the experts out there....

[boson au]

hey, I was that pac man game guy... thanks to all who gave me suggestions

on collision detection and such, but I have a problem that is probably a

LOT simpler but for some reason is stumping me.


I'm basicaly trying to control the pacman's position.  In main time line

(1 frame in length),

I have a movie called pac (instance pac), and a control movie clip that

houses an invisible button that responds to keypresses(such as up down

etc...) now... I have the invisible button in the "control" movie clip to

have an actionscript that reads: 


On (Key: f)

 tell target ("../")

      Set Property ("/pac", X Position) = (px * 10) + 10

end tell target

END on


(px is the collision detection variable, I'm basicaly trying to let it

move forward everytime the key 'f' is pressed)


I know there is something wrong here.  I mean, it moves once.  but then it

doesn't move anymore.  there shouldn't be another frame in the main

timeline, right?
