CS4 Code not working in movieclip

Hello,
I can place the following code on a movieclip:

PHP Code:

---

onClipEvent(load) {
    gravity = 0.2;
    yspeed = 0;
    speed = 2;
}
onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
    if(flipped) {
        this._xscale = -this._xscale;
        flipped = false;
    }
    if(this._x >= 763 or this._x <= 37) {
        flipped = true;
        speed = -speed;
    }
    if(!_parent.bricks.hitTest(_x+_width/2, _y+_height/4, true)) {
        _x += speed;
    }
    yspeed += gravity;
    while(_parent.bricks.hitTest(_x, _y+_height/2, true)) {
        _y--;
        yspeed = 0;
        jumping = 0;
    }
    if((!_parent.bricks.hitTest(_x, _y+_height/2+1, true)) or (yspeed<0)) {
        _y += yspeed;
    } else {
        yspeed = 0;
        jumping = 0;
    }
} 


---

And it'll work fine, however if I place it like this on a frame in the movieclip:

PHP Code:

---

this.onLoad = function() {
    gravity = 0.2;
    yspeed = 0;
    speed = 2;
}
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
    if(flipped) {
        this._xscale = -this._xscale;
        flipped = false;
    }
    if(this._x >= 763 or this._x <= 37) {
        flipped = true;
        speed = -speed;
    }
    if(!_parent.bricks.hitTest(_x+_width/2, _y+_height/4, true)) {
        _x += speed;
    }
    yspeed += gravity;
    while(_parent.bricks.hitTest(_x, _y+_height/2, true)) {
        _y--;
        yspeed = 0;
        jumping = 0;
    }
    if((!_parent.bricks.hitTest(_x, _y+_height/2+1, true)) or (yspeed<0)) {
        _y += yspeed;
    } else {
        yspeed = 0;
        jumping = 0;
    }
}

It doesn't work :(

Any help would be greatly appreciated since this is for a school project due in a week...:scared:

Are using an Actionscript 3.0 because your code will only work for a Actionscript 2.0 file.

check the variables in your output for both versions. See what's different.

I'm using Actionscript 2. I also found none of my onLoad code is executing, same with the onEnterFrame code. However if I add trace('Working') under the onEnterFrame section, it works, but no other code will.

Is this part necessary “this.onLoad = function()”. You only need to define the variables, so having the following code below would just be fine.

Code:

---

var gravity = 0.2;
var yspeed = 0;
var speed = 2;

---

Hmm...good point..."this.onLoad = function()" isn't necessary after all. I'll try without that.
It'll probably work since using the "this.onLoad = function()" didn't give the variables their required values...

Tried it and while it works...the movements are really messed up
