What's wrong with my script?

OK, I’m just a beginner, so don’t expect me to know much about JavaScript.
I’m trying to get this script to work, the movement already works, but the addForce part doesn’t. I can play without errors but whenever I press spacebar, my character doesn’t jump. I’m trying to do a bird-themed game, so whenever I add force to th object, it doesn’t need to be on the ground. Thanks!

var speed = 7.0; var rotateSpeed = 3.0;
var flap;

function Update ()
 {
    var controller : CharacterController = GetComponent(CharacterController);transform.Rotate(0, Input.GetAxis ("Horizontal") * rotateSpeed, 0);
    var forward = transform.TransformDirection(Vector3.forward);
    var curSpeed = speed * Input.GetAxis ("Vertical"); controller.SimpleMove(forward * curSpeed);

    flap = (Input.GetButtonDown("Jump"));
    rigidbody.AddForce (Vector3.up * 200);

       
      
      
} ;

You are adding force to the rigidbody every frame - there is no if statement in there. Are you sure your character has a rigidbody, and it isn’t set to kinematic?
