Zelda style movement

programming

I’ve been trying to get the Zelda stlye movement to work for a while but no luck. I’ve gotten really close but I know I’m overlooking something.


onClipEvent (load) {
 facing = "down";
 shift = true;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
 if (Key.isDown(Key.UP)) {
  if (shift == true) {
   gotoAndStop(2);
   facing = "up";
   shift = false;
  }
  _y -= 4;
 }
 if (Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)) {
  if (shift == true) {
   gotoAndStop(1);
   facing = "down";
   shift = false;
  }
  _y += 4;
 }
 if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {
  if (shift == true) {
   gotoAndStop(3);
   facing = "left";
   shift = false;
  }
  _x -= 4;
 }
 if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
  if (shift == true) {
   gotoAndStop(4);
   facing = "right";
   shift = false;
  }
  _x += 4;
 }
 if (!Key.isDown(Key.DOWN) && !Key.isDown(Key.UP) && !Key.isDown(Key.LEFT) && !Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
  shift = true;
  if (facing == "down") {
   gotoAndStop(5);
  }
  if (facing == "up") {
   gotoAndStop(6);
  }
  if (facing == "left") {
   gotoAndStop(7);
  }
  if (facing == "right") {
   gotoAndStop(8);
  }
 }
}
