To control your movie clip's using the arrow keys on your keyboard: 1. Make a Movie Clip (MC), and name it ship. 2. Also name the MC's instance name 'ship' (without quotations). 3. Then add this code:

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
 if(Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)){
 _root.ship._x=(this._x- 20;
 }
 if(Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)){
 _root.ship._x=(this._x+ 20;
 }
 if(Key.isDown(Key.UP)){
 _root.ship._y=(this._y- 20;
 }
 if(Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)){
 _root.ship._y=(this._y+ 20;
 }
}

change the number '20' to whatever you want, this just sets how many pixels the MC moves by
