hi,

i would like to make a animated ball from one side to another side and viseversa but when i am running this code only once my ball is running but not second time.

onClipEvent (load) {
speed = 10;
xpos = this._x;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
trace(this._x);
if (this._x<=550) {

The trace you have used should ve shown you clearly that the ball does nt move once it reaches 500.
May be this could help :

 
onClipEvent (load) 
{
    speed = 10;
    forward=true;
    xpos = this._x;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) { 
    trace(this._x);
if(forward)
{
     if (this._x<550){
        this._x += speed;
     }
     else
        forward=false;
}
else
{
     if (this._x>0){
        this._x -= speed;
     }
     else
         forward=true;
}
 

I have nt tested but hope the logic works. Is this wat you are looking for ?
