Gravity in as2

[Elon G]

Hey I'm new at AS, and i have been trying to make an object (a ball) fall within gravity but nothing happens when i'm running the swf.

here's the code:

onClipEvent (load) {

    fallMax = 0;

}

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {

    if (ball._y < 300)

    {

        _y += fallMax;

        if (fallMax < 10)

        {

            fallmax++;

        }

    }

}

what am i doing wrong?

you probably have some scope problems.  but rather than correct those, you should remove all code from objects and attach code to timelines:

var fallMax:Number=0;

this.onEnterFrame=gameloopF;

function gameloopF():Void{

if(ball._y<300){

ball._y+=fallMax

if(fallMax<10){

fallMax++;

}

} else {

delete this.onEnterFrame;

}

}
