[COLOR=#000000][FONT=verdana]I have a Animated character which moves Left and right (up and down comming later) lol [/FONT][/COLOR]  
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=verdana]Anyway! it walks perfectly when walking RIGHT but when i add the LEFT movement code the animation stops working here is the Right key press code:[/FONT][/COLOR]  
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=verdana]sprite= My movieClip [/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=#000000][FONT=verdana]Code:

[/FONT][/COLOR]sprite.onEnterFrame = function(){

if(Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)){  
this.\_x += 10;  
this.gotoAndStop(2);

}else{  
this.gotoAndStop(1)

}  
}

[COLOR=#000000][FONT=verdana]This works fine with the movement and animation here is the hole code that stops it from working:[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=#000000][FONT=verdana]Code:

[/FONT][/COLOR]sprite.onEnterFrame = function(){

if(Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)){  
this.\_x += 10;  
this.gotoAndStop(2);

}else{  
this.gotoAndStop(1)  
}  
if(Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)){  
this.\_x += 10;  
this.gotoAndStop(4);

}else{  
this.gotoAndStop(3)

}  
}
