Hello. :slight_smile:

Well I am making this ship game right and when You press the left button.

[AS]onClipEvent (enterFrame) {

just a guess…

if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {
this._x -= 5;
if (!this.l) this.gotoAndPlay(2);
}
this.l = Key.isDown(Key.LEFT);

It WOrks!!!

Questions:

What does ! mean its in the code
and also what does this code do

this.l = Key.isDown(Key.LEFT);

! (logical NOT)

Key.isDown returns a Boolean (true/false), it simply assigns that Boolean to this.l, which will be evaluated by the if action.
