I am having trouble with my code, the code is:

 

{

var num1:Number = 0.5;

if(num < num1)

mc_enemy.y += 20

num = Math.random()

else mc_enemy.y -= 20

num = Math.random()

}

 

And it shows the error, "Error 1083: Syntax error: else is unexpected", Does anybody have any suggestions?

  I'd say my programming skills sucks, don't listen to me, but just to say that you can maybe take a look at the if else statement structure, maybe you can include { } and ; at some parts.

Indeed. Your if() has two lines after it, but no braces, so only the first line is considered to be inside the if(). Then, a couple of lines later, the parser sees an else, but the if() has already ended. You need to do this:

 

{
var num1:Number = 0.5;
if(num < num1)
{
   	mc_enemy.y += 20
   	num = Math.random()
} else { 
   	mc_enemy.y -= 20
   	num = Math.random()
}
}
