Still no luck on my end...

Well, I had minimal success today. I was able to get the guy to turn in every direction and move that way, so he's always walking forward and not sideways (or moonwalking). The part that I didn't have any luck with was the sword button. I kind of screwed it up for now. What has been happening is that he would do the action when the space bar is down, and stop when it is not down. That problem made sense to me, seeing as the code did exactly that. What I want it to do is to play the entire clip and then stop. That way he'd finish his swing and you wouldn't need to hold down the space bar for the entire time. Once I figure that out I can add in other... how should I say... techniques. For example, he thrusts outwards when the the spacebar is pressed and a wide swing when the CTRL button is pressed. It should be interesting. And we've decided that the UP+LEFT movement problem is just a Flash bug. It might be solvable, but not by me. I'll do some looking into that later.
