Ok I need some major help. I’m making a game and I need it so that teh character movea around with the thrust motion. I have that down but there’s one annoying part about the script.

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {  
// rotate right or left  
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {  
\_rotation += 15;  
}  
if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {  
\_rotation -= 15;  
}

That Part

I need it so that it rotates the direction that it is going without it actually rotating the picture because it is a collction of movie clips that make a character walking. Please HELP.

Thanks

try this (assuming that the character look to the right)…

onClipEvent (load) {  
this.\_xscale = 100;  
}  
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {  
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {  
if (this.\_xscale == -100) {  
this.\_xscale = 100;  
}  
}  
if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {  
if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {  
if (this.\_xscale == 100) {  
this.\_xscale = -100;  
}  
}  
}  
}
