Re: Trouble with sprites!!

at the top of your scripts where you type your sprites name there should be three button things one shows almost a full circle another shows two arrows connected and another shows a square, click on the two arrow thing and you will be able to walk both ways

Re: Trouble with sprites!!

To further explain Donut-slayer's response,
There is a small thumbnail image of the currently selected sprite above the editable script area. To the left of this thumbnail are three small buttons.
The top button (A circular arrow) allows the sprite to rotate freely.
The middle button (Two arrows pointing away from eachother) forces the sprite to either face left, or right (Depending on the direction being negative/positive)
The lower button (A small square) stops all visible rotation; though the "Step forward" block will still move the sprite in the direction shown.

In YOUR case, you want the sprite to either face left or right; so you should use the middle button.
Each rotation type is useful. If you need rotation AND left/right flipping, consider using the top button and creating a mirror costume for the left/right arrows to control.
