How did the chicken get through the maze?

Hi, I am playing with Alice, trying to make my first basic game. I have worked through the demos and some of the basic tutorials but I am having unusual trouble making a simple maze game.

I have attached a screenshot to show exactly what I have done, and it's very basic stuff.

I'd like someone to explain to me why it doesn't work - why can't I navigate this chicken through the maze. Basically I have enabled arrow keys to control said chicken - this works; then I have told Alice that when the chicken is within 1m to move it away. It does nothing of the sort. And I have read here that on OSX there is no collision detection..... I am as indicated: exasperated. Can someone help me out please.

Basically the command you show will only move the chicken "away" from the maze when it is within one meter of the center of the maze.

For more details, I suggest you either look at Dick Baldwin's tutorials or, if you have one of the texts, at the descriptions of moving relative to objects. I don't have a copy of the Dunn, et al, text handy but remember it had a quite good example involving a boat and a lighthous.
