```auto
MovieClip.prototype.moveMan = function(moveX, moveY, facing)
{
 if(_global.aniMation == 9)
 {
  _global.animation = 1;
 }
 else
 {
  _global.aniMation++;
 }
 currentFacing = (facing * 9) + _global.aniMation;
 this.gotoAndStop(currentFacing);
 this._x += moveX;
 this._y += moveY;
}
_root.onEnterFrame = function()
{
 if(Key.isDown(Key.DOWN))
 {
  walkingMarz.moveMan(0, 9, 0);
 }
 if(Key.isDown(Key.UP))
 {
  walkingMarz.moveMan(0, -9, 1);
 }
 if(Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT))
 {
  walkingMarz.moveMan(9, 0, 2);
 }
 if(Key.isDown(Key.LEFT))
 {
  walkingMarz.moveMan(-9, 0, 3);
 }
 if (Key.isDown(Key.SPACE)) {

To use that portion of the code… You have to set up the walkingMarz movieclip with a frame called “attack” and then play a movieclip contained in the attack frame called attack.
