Character not moving with Arrow keys in Actionscript 3

[Ekavali]

My main question over here is how I can make a character that moves with the buttons on the keyboard? I have tried many different coding in Actionscript 3, but nothing works accordingly. So thought that you members would provide some coding for Actionscript 3 which can be useful in making the movement of character. I am trying to make some games in flash, so I need all these things. Please respond to my query as soon as possible. It would be much better for me, if you provide some sample of coding along with an information.

The following steps will definitely help you to create the game in flash.

1. Make your character (a square is enough). Then convert your 2-character symbol and name it "player".
2. Go into the actionscript window and enter the following code in the character. Change symbols # and velocity.
   

   onClipEvent (enterFrame) { 
   if (Key.isDown (Key.LEFT)) {// the character moves to the left 
   _x -= # // speed 
   } 
   if (Key.isDown (Key.RIGHT)) {// the character moves to the right 
   _x + = # // speed 
   } 
   if (Key.isDown (Key.DOWN)) {// the character moves down 
   _y + = # // speed 
   } 
   if (Key.isDown (Key.UP)) {// the character moves up 
   _y -= # // speed 
   } 
   }

3. You can add a background to make more beautiful.

I have reviewed, but what I meant to say was what was the code, but what it means. Something like:

// Declare the variable NoSpeed. Change its value to change the speed of your character. 
NoSpeed var = 5; 

// We declare a enterFrame event 
onClipEvent (enterFrame) 
{ 
// If the key 'left' is left is pressed, then ... 
if (Key.isDown (Key.LEFT)) 
{ 
_x -= NoSpeed // This reduces the _x property of our character NoSpeed. 
} 
}

Finally something like this. Then 3000 visit, do not mean 3000 visit useful. A code of character displacement be little more push, and more useful. According to the real beginning is fine, but the 3000 visits were not just beginning. Yes I know they are annoying but you can see it save you problems later.

The following are two methods that can also be useful for you :
Method 1 : Placing a clip on each side

if (hitTest (_root.pl1)) { 
_y = -20 _root.pl1._y 
} 
if (hitTest (_root.pl2)) { 
_x = 20 _root.pl2._x 
} 
if (hitTest (_root.pl3)) { 
_y = 20 _root.pl3._y 
} 
if (hitTest (_root.pl4)) { 
_x = -20 _root.pl4._x 
}

gropes for the name of the pl

Method 2 :

meter on Me 
} 
if (_x> 550) { 
_x = 550; 
} 
if (_x <0) { 
_x = 0; 
} 
if (_y> 400) { 
_y = 400; 
} 
if (_y <0) { 
_y = 0; 
} 
}

I have tried to use your coding but there are not any movement. I don't know where I am going wrong. Are there any settings that has to be done before using this coding? Since, I have recently started working with the Actionscript 3, I am not having any more knowledge about it. Please guide me by providing proper instructions. I am sure that someone hanging out there can help me.

I have tried to use your coding but there are not any movement.
