Hi I am a day 2 flash user and I have been trying to make a game, but for starters i want to make my character be able to move using arrow keys that includes showing the legs movement instead of a fixed image drifting across.

There is one problem, when I press RIGHT arrow key , it goes fine, but when I press LEFT arrow key (rever direction) my character flips from point A to point B instead of facing left, i have been thinking maybe it’s the frame problem, is it possible to tell flash to play the REVERSE moveclip ?  
or is there a easier solution based on my code.

i have the video of the problem if you need , but I need 5 post to paste the URL

thank you , help is much apperciated.

ArCh~  
Cheers
