Sprite Bounce

Hey all.

Im wondering if anyone can help me. I am  new to Scratch and
am trying to make a small animation clip with a few sprites. When i use the
"if on edge bounce', or "Point in direction blocks, my sprite gets turned upside
down instead of facing the other way. Am i doing something wrong or leaving something
out?  I apologise if this has been asked before, but am really stuck.

Thanks for any help you can give.

Re: Sprite Bounce

This can be easily fixed.

http://info.scratch.mit.edu/sites/infoscratch.media.mit.edu/images/Current_Sprite_Info.gif
Just change the Rotation Style from http://info.scratch.mit.edu/sites/infoscratch.media.mit.edu/images/Rotate_Button.gif (Rotate) to http://info.scratch.mit.edu/sites/infoscratch.media.mit.edu/images/Flip_Button.gif (Left-right flip).

By the way, here's some information about this from the Reference Guide:

ROTATION STYLE

Click the Rotation Style buttons to control how the costume appears as the sprite changes its direction.
http://info.scratch.mit.edu/sites/infoscratch.media.mit.edu/images/Rotate_Button.gif Rotate: The costume rotates as the sprite changes direction.       
http://info.scratch.mit.edu/sites/infoscratch.media.mit.edu/images/Flip_Button.gif Left-right flip: The costume faces either left or right.       
http://info.scratch.mit.edu/sites/infoscratch.media.mit.edu/images/No-Rotate_Button.gif No-rotate: The costume never rotates (even as the sprite changes direction).
