Tracing movement

[sora72]

I know this seems rather basic, but how can I trace if something is moving?

I don't mean trace(thing._x), but like trace("hello") if thing += 5. Is this possible?

I assume you mean trace the position of the moving object. You need to place the trace() statement inside an onEnterFrame function.

Why would you assume that when I said nothing about tracing position? Also, I was using trace as an example. I want to have something like if(thing._x += 5){ moveright=true }, but that doesn't work
