position problem

[up-a-notch]

I need to make it so my guy faces the same way when you let go of the key

code 1:

code 2: onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (!Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {
this._y -= speed;

this.gotoAndStop(1);

} else {
this.play();
}
}

you needto lookinto _xscale

you wantto change it

_xscale = 100
_xscale = -100

stuff likethat in left and right

What do you mean? Could you maybe make an example or explain that more thoroughly? It's hard to know what you're having problems with.

Also, post all relevant code that would be useful in fixing your problem. You should use code tags as well.

ok here

code on guy:

onClipEvent (load) {
	speed = 10;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {


	if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
		this._x += speed;
		

		this.gotoAndStop(3);
	}
	if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {
		this._x -= speed;
		
		this.gotoAndStop(2);
	}

	if (Key.isDown(83)) {
		this.gotoAndStop(4);
	}
	if (Key.isDown(65)) {
		this.gotoAndStop(5);
	}

	if (Key.isDown(68)) {
		this.gotoAndStop(6);
	}
	if (Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)) {

		this.gotoAndStop(8);
	}

	if (Key.isDown(83)) {
		this.gotoAndStop(4);
	}


}

codes inside guy:

code 1:

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
	if (!Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {
		this._y -= speed;
		_xscale = -100;


		
	} else {
		this.play();
	}
}

code 2:

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
	if (!Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
		this._y -= speed;
		_xscale = 100;

	} else {
		this.play();
	}
}

i don't even understand what you want still. could you explain what your asking better?

[up-a-notch]

when you let go of moving the guy faces right so it is a problem if you are running left

logically.. you probably want to set a facing direction for your character, so when you let go of an arrow key, you know which direction he was walking last. I use 0, 1, 2, 3... left up right down.

when the key is up, you gotoAndStop(IDLE_DIRECTION); simple AS pie... lol... AS

[up-a-notch]

it says it has errors!

onClipEvent (load) {
	speed = 10;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {


	if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
		this._x += speed;


		this.gotoAndStop(3);
	}
	if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {
		this._x -= speed;

		this.gotoAndStop(2);
	}
	if (Key.isToggled((Key.LEFT)) {
		gotoAndStop(IDLE_DIRECTION);
	}
	if (Key.isToggled((Key.RIGHT)) {
		gotoAndStop(IDLE_DIRECTION);
	}
	if (Key.isDown(83)) {
		this.gotoAndStop(4);
	}
	if (Key.isDown(65)) {
		this.gotoAndStop(5);
	}

	if (Key.isDown(68)) {
		this.gotoAndStop(6);
	}
	if (Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)) {

		this.gotoAndStop(8);
	}

	if (Key.isDown(83)) {
		this.gotoAndStop(4);
	}


}

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
	if (jumping) {
		_y += jumpspeed;
		jumpspeed += 1;
		if (_y>=y_start) {
			_y = y_start;
			jumping = false;
		}
	} else {
		if (Key.isDown(Key.SPACE)) {
			jumping = true;
			jumpspeed = -14;
			this.gotoAndStop(7);
		}
	}
}

Just have the character face the same way for both moving right and left and use _xscale to determine which direction you face.

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
 
 
 	if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
 		this._x += speed; 
               this._xscale=100
 		this.gotoAndStop(3);
 	}
 	if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {
 		this._x -= speed;
                this._xscale=-100 
 		this.gotoAndStop(3);
	}
}
