[Hackey Sack]

HEy Yeah thats right im making a simple little duck duck goose game, but no matter how simple i still need help, what i need is, when you pick someone (i can do that) you run by pressing right arrow then left arrow then right arrow then left arrow etc. but i cant do this i need it so you cant just hit left then left again!

if(Key.isDown(Key.LEFT){
if(lastdown=="right"){
run();
}
lastdown="left";
}

if(Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT){
if(lastdown=="left"){
run();
}
lastdown="right";
}

Something like that?

Okay I get it kinda but can you break that code down a little, im not to good with action script!

Put the following on your main guy:

//Run this every new frame.
onClipEvent(enterFrame){

//If we're holding down left
if(Key.isDown(Key.LEFT){
//If we just pressed right
if(lastdown=="right"){
//Insert whatever running script you have here.
}
//we just pressed left.
lastdown="left";
}

//If we're holding down left
if(Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT){
//If we just pressed left
if(lastdown=="left"){
//Insert whatever running script you have here.
}
//we just pressed right.
lastdown="right";
}

}

See it more clearly?
Ignore the meaningOfLifeX btw. that's just my sig.
