ok, new prob, I figured that it’d be easier to make a movie clip, and inside the movie clip have frames, each frame has a diff movie clip, frame on is a guy facing forward, frame 2 is the guy faceins left, and so on. In frame 5 the guy is walking forward, in 6, walking to the left, and so on. Now, here’s what I would like to accomplish (I’ve tried MANY things, not successful) I want to, when I push up on the keyboard, for the movie clip to go to frame 5 and stop, when I release, go to frame 1 and stop. When I push left, go to frame 6 in the movie clip and when I release go to frame 2. sounds simple right? Maybe mesa jus’ dumb:smirk: ☹

that is very \*\*\*\* close to what I’m trying to accomplish, only thing is, when I release a button, I don’t always want it to go back to frame one. If I release up, I want it to go to frame one, if I release left I want it to go to frame 2, if I release up I want it to go to frame 3 and so on
