Forums → Programming Forum → Simple As3 Help?

I sort of just started messing around with as3 and i'm trying to get movement down but i'm having a problem with two things, for some reason the basic standing animation want play when i run it, and the speedup animation in which i tried to play want work either, both just stop at the first frame of the animation and want play anymore, both are movieclips on a frame inside a movieclip, can somebody help please? and by the way i put key.isdown because i'm using the KeyObject for as3 which allows you to
Here's my code:

sonic.gotoAndStop('stand';
var Key:KeyObject = new KeyObject(stage);
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME ,onkey);
var sonicspeed:Number = 0;
var friction:Number = .6
//movement
function onkey(e:Event):void{
sonic.x += sonicspeed;
if (sonic.x > 550){
sonic.x = 0;
}else if(sonic.x < 0){
sonic.x = 550;
}if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)){
sonic.scaleX=1;
sonicspeed -= 1.5;
sonic.gotoAndStop('run';
}else if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)){
sonic.scaleX=-1;
sonicspeed += 1.5;
sonic.gotoAndStop('run';
}else{
sonic.gotoAndStop('walk';
sonicspeed *= friction;
}
//speed properties
if (sonicspeed > 40){
sonicspeed = 40;
sonic.gotoAndStop('speeding';
}if (sonicspeed < -40){
sonicspeed = -40;
[b]sonic.gotoAndStop('speeding';[/b]
}if (Math.abs(sonicspeed)< 0.001){
sonic.gotoAndStop('slowing';
}
if (Math.abs(sonicspeed)< 0.00009){
sonic.gotoAndStop('stand';
sonicspeed = 0;
}
}
