Here’s my situation, I’m making a stick fighting game, where this stick figure fights others. I have the basic moves done inside a mc.

I just tried to use Kirupa’s tutorial on how to animate that bug with the keyboard arrow keys, but it didn’t work. It moved the whole screen.

All I want to do, is when you press the left or right arrow keys, the movements (the mc’s name) move to the left/right.

Could you help me out here…

I attached the .fla for you to look at…

Thanks in advance,

(p.s. the basic controls are the left arrow animates it left, the right animates it right, and the enter key makes him punch)
