Facing

facing can be used to help set/determine the orientation of a FlxSprite. Combine this with FlxSprite.setFacingFlip() to have your sprite graphic flip depending on the way it’s facing.

// set sprite's facing to RIGHT.
sprite.facing = RIGHT;

// whenever sprite is facing RIGHT, do NOT flip the sprite's graphic
sprite.setFacingFlip(RIGHT, false, false);

// whenever sprite is facing LEFT, flip the graphic horizontally
sprite.setFacingFlip(LEFT, true, false);
