    Correct answer just.emma

    how the syntax and the function will look if i in function of the parameter keycode?


    root = this;

    document.onkeydown = function(e) {

        switch (e.keyCode) {

            case 37: flipLeft();

                break;

            case 39: flipRight();

                break;

        }

    };

    function flipLeft(){

      createjs.Tween.get(root.mcName).to(

      {scaleX:-1},

      250, createjs.Ease.elasticOut);

    }

    function flipRight(){

      createjs.Tween.get(root.mcName).to(

      {scaleX:1},

      250, createjs.Ease.elasticOut);

    }

    Please note that mcName should be changed to match the instance name of the movie clip that you want to flip.

    Also, just wanted to mention that Stack Overflow was super helpful in figuring this out: keyboard events - Detecting arrow key presses in JavaScript - Stack Overflow

    To flip a symbol:

    Select your symbol.  Go to Modify > Transform > Flip Horizontal.

    but i want that it happen automaticlly

    like in super mario

    when you press right he walk right,when you press left the same mario walk left with the face to left.

    //right arrow

      if (e.keyCode==39){

      kid.alpha=1;

      /*kid2.alpha=0;*/

      backR.x -=10;

      kid.x +=10;

      }

    this is for right walk, i want that when i press left  the mario turn left so i need that the flip will be in the code

    You just set the X scale negative instead of positive.
