Re: Direction of travel
If you want to reverse the direction of travel, type a negative number into the white box. However, this will make the sprite seem to move backwards.
To make the script seem to move forwards at all times, simply duplicate the costume, and flip it in the paint editor (there are some buttons in the top left of the paint editor - click the one that looks like a vertical line with a semicircle either side) to make it face the other way. You can then use a script that looks like this: [blocks]
<when green flag clicked>
<forever>
<if><key[ right arrow ]pressed?>
<switch to costume[ facing right
<move( number )steps>
<end>
<if><key[ left arrow ]pressed?>
<switch to costume[ facing left
<move( negative number )steps>
<end>
<end>
[/blocks]
Hope this helps

Re: Direction of travel
Thanks!!!!! I played around with it for a while and in the top corner where it shows the sprite with the blue line, if you click the box with the square in it that says don't rotate it works fine. XD I'm happy now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Direction of travel
Or, you could also change the direction without flipping it upside-down by clicking the button that looks like this: <-> . It's up in the Sprite Pane, where it has all the sprite information like X and Y position, and it's also where the box with the square in it that you mentioned.
