  I'm having problems with the following code. I've got a movement system in the making, and I'm trying to have 8 way movement, I've succesfully managed 4 way, (left, right, up, down) but I'm having very big problems having the diagonal movement. I've tried the following code, it doesn't return any debug errors, however, the character only moves right under all circumstances. Can anbody see what I'm doing wrong? Any suggestions?
  

  
  

  Code:

  onClipEvent(keyDown) {
     var dir;
     var goleft;
     var goright;
     var godown;
     var goup;
     
     goup = false;
     godown = false;
     goright = false;
     goleft = false;
     
     if (Key.isDown(Key.UP)) {
         goup = true;
     }
     if (Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)) {
         godown = true;
     }
     if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {
         goleft = true;
     }
     if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
         goright = true;
     } else {
         dir = null;
         goup = false;
         godown = false;
         goright = false;
         goleft = false;
     }
     
     if (goup = true) {
         dir = "up";
             if (goleft = true) {
                 dir = "upleft";
             }
             if (goright = true) {
                 dir = "upright";
             }
     }
     if (godown = true) {
         dir = "down";
             if (goleft = true) {
                 dir = "downleft";
             }
             if (goright = true) {
                 dir = "downright";
             }
     }
     if (goleft = true) {
         dir = "left";
     }
     if (goright = true) {
         dir = "right";
     }
     
     _parent.walk(dir);
     updateAfterEvent();
  }
