Post [Request] Side scrolling help
Here's what i have so far. What I want to do is make it so that the symbol changes when he runs so that he doesn't just look the same the whole time. I also want him to face the direction he's going. Any suggestions?

ok here's how I would make him cange sides:
Code:
onClipEvent (load) {
scale = _xscale
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)){
-scale
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)){
scale
}
}

sorry, forgot to say that
add this to your actionscript of you character, such as:
Code:
onClipEvent (load){
other code you have here
scale = _xscale
}
OnClipEvent (enterFrame){
if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)){
other code you have to make him move left
-scale
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)){
other code you have to make him move right
scale
}
all other code you have for him (such as jumping) here
}

better?
