In any event, try to steer clear of the [When key "right arrow" pressed] block. The movement methods suggested by previous posters are much better

By hat blocks he means things like:
<when green flag clicked>
<when I receive[
and<when[  ]key pressed>
It executes the script once the event happens. All legitimate scripts must have a hat block or else there's no way to start it while playing the game.
The first two are alright but don't use the last one unless you have to. It's off timing.
See what I mean by making a script for a sprite like this:
<when[ up arrow ]key pressed>
<change y by( 10 )
Now, hold the up arrow key down.

Ah, yes, when you press the up arrow in this script it will execute it once, but if you were to put a repeat until not up arrow pressed, then it will assume that you are going to be holding down the arrow for more smooth movement.

^^^^ yeah and that script is so annoying

What do you mean by that.

It never works my sprite keeps going right instead of left,up,or down.
