Question by cricket_playah: In Flash actionscript 2.0, how do you change one movie Clip to another.?
In a game I am making, a character can be moved either left or right. The character must face the direction he is going, so i created two movie clips, one for each direction. What is the code i must use to change the left facing movie clip, to the right facing movie clip and viceversa when the left and right arrow keys are pressed.

You need to make another MC for the character.

On the first frame put the left direction MC, with a stop(); and on the second frame you put the right direction MC, again with a stop();.

Click on the first frame and call it “charLeft” and call the second frame “charRight”.

Then on the main MC you put the following AS:
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if(Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)){
this._x += 10;
this.gotoAndStop(“charRight”);
if(Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)){
this._x -= 10;
this.gotoAndStop(“charLeft”);
}
}
}
