AS Directions

Ok, how would I go about making a character face left or right using actionscript?

I want to use the same frame sequence for both.

onEnterFrame = function() {
getKeys();
}

function getKeys() {
if(Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
char._xscale = 100;
char._x += 5;
} else if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {
char._xscale = -100;
char._x -= 5;
}
}

That's assuming your animation is facing to the right by default. If it is the reverse, swap "100" and "-100", and also swap "+=" and "-=".

That works for the foundation of what I'm trying to do, but as far as fine tuning goes, the transition is a bit rough.

You'll need to elaborate. You have a turning animation where the player turns from facing one direction and faces the other? If that's the case, yeah, it's a bit lacking. You really need to be less vague about specifically what you're trying to do before you get to the askin' part.
