    Help With object movment

    Hi I'm fairly new to Swishmax, my current version if Swishmax 3. I wanted to try something simple;
    Moving an object w/ arrow keys, or any key. I saw some guides on swishzone and some other crappy sites, but itwas all for Swish1.

    ...it doesn't matter if it's for SWiSH Max1 or SWiSH Max3 - the action is still the same -

    on (keyPress("<Space>")) {
    }

    See, thats what the hell I thought, seen many many guides on this same thing, saying the same thing.

    Basically I created a square, have in different SWI's grouped it as a movie clip, & converted to movie clip, and added this code

    on (keyPress("<Up>")) {
    face._Y -= 20}
    on (keyPress("<Down>")) {
    face._Y += 20}
    on (keyPress("<Left>")) {
    face._X -= 20}
    on (keyPress("<Right>")) {
    face._X += 20}

    And absolutely nothing

    Ok. Now this is weirding me out a bit. I tried reimplenting this code:

    on (keyPress("<Up>")) {
    face._Y -= 20}
    on (keyPress("<Down>")) {
    face._Y += 20}
    on (keyPress("<Left>")) {
    face._X -= 20}
    on (keyPress("<Right>")) {
    face._X += 20}

    It doesn't work, i accidentally clicked the "up function" to the object, not the parent. The up function doesn't work but all three others work, down, left, right. I change the up function back to parent, and the whole thing doesn't work. Strange
