I guess you are using buttons and then using the on key press handler.... well... but flash5 has the answer to your problem... Smartclips! just put the AS within the Movie Clip like this:

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if (Key.isDown(Key.UP)){up += up}
if (Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)){down += down}
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)){right+= right}
if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)){left-= left}
}

well.... i made up what's inside the {}... there you should put your own programming.....

hope it helps
