balls name bob in the instance box down in the properties tab, now on the stage, make a line the same color as your background and make it a movieclip and give it the instance name Uwall and place it in the sky where you want the top of your ball to stop moving up,

give your ball who's name is now bob this code or add it on

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

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {if (this.hitTest(_root.Uwall)) {_y = _y+20;}}

20 is how fast the guy goes so if you change the movespeed you'll have to do the same for the _y=_y+20 thing, also if that doesn't work make sure that
1)the uwall is in the sky not the earth,
2)switch the {_y = _y+20;}} to {_y = _y-20;}}
3)prey to god or whoever you believe in/dont believe in

Unless the character is in the ground movieclip, if the ground is all one movieclip, that should not happen.
Oh, and does anybody know if it's possible to draw gradient fills using actionscript?
