I need some help with movement and walk cycle motions

I’m kind of new at action script and i’m having trouble. The kind of style i’m going for is different than most so i can’t find any tutorials. I’m doing my own version of pokemon just so i can understand what it takes to make a game. It’ll most likely be very short if i ever finish it.

The problem i’m having is that I can’t get the character to move right. Since the screen is moving and the character isn’t, i can’t really find help. Please take a look at it and see what i need to do. I only have the right and left animations, if someone could help me with those then i could do the up and down on my own.
