One Fish: The code for the fish

I will just explain the code for the bobbing fish.

This is the code for the fish movie:

//variables
var angle:Number=0;
var distance:Number=20;  //how high up and down the y value goes
var origY:Number=fish.y; //where the fish started
var rate:Number=0.5; //how fast it bobs up and down, if 0 there is no bobbing
var speed:Number=5; //x distance fish moves
var turnAround:Boolean=false; //fish can leave and enter on other side or turnaround

//initialize
this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,frames);

//functions;
function frames(e:Event):void
{
	fish.y = origY + Math.sin(angle) * distance;
	angle = angle + rate;
	fish.x +=  speed;
	if (fish.x > stage.stageWidth + fish.width)
	{//went off on right
		if (turnAround)
		{
			fish.scaleX *=  -1;//turn around or flip over horizontally
			speed=speed*-1;
		}
		else
		{
			fish.x = 0 - fish.width;//reenter on left
		}
	}
	if (fish.x < 0 - fish.width)
	{//went off on left
	    
		if (turnAround)
		{
			fish.scaleX *=  -1;//turn around
			speed=speed*-1;
		}
		else
		{
			fish.x = stage.stageWidth + fish.width;//reenter on right
		}
	}
}//frames
