Here's my solution, it works similar to noobjams but is probably a bit easier to follow:

onClipEvent (load) {
 idle = true;
}
 
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
 
  if ((Key.isDown(Key.LEFT) && Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) || (!Key.isDown(Key.LEFT) && !Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT))) {
    // If both keys are up or down he is standing 
    idle = true; gotoAndPlay("standing");
 
  } else if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT) && idle == true) {
    // Otherwise if the left key is down run left
    gotoAndPlay("runningleft");
    idle = false;
 
  } else if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT) && idle == true) {
    // Otherwise if the right key is down run right
    gotoAndPlay("runningright");
    idle = false;
  }
 
}

I got rid of the nested if statements too

YAY! Thanks Gaz/noobjam. I could actually understand Gaz's though.

I like how someone tagged the thread with "as2". Funny stuff.

In response to noobjam, what does 'bitwise' mean? Ive never found out...

And I HATE the stupid, obfuscated one-line wonder techniques. You do know that an important part of programming is allowing other people to be able to read your code? At the least you should do it when giving help!!!

Admittedly, I still sometimes slip towards forgetting to press 'Enter', so I have to 'Translate' it before showing it to anyone else xD

Awww mesges. You covered up my other thread I need help with.
Go post in it, so that Gaz/noobjam can see it and help me.

You seem to know AS, why don't you try helping too.

Gave up on AS ages ago, too hard to find a decent tutorial, and you have to pay for flash (even though I dont, It makes fewer tutorials...

As for bitwise, I know it from C++, and it seems to have much of the same syntax.
