Fish Game Tutorial

Hello All... My name is Dan and Im currently working through the default tutorials and managed to find myself stuck in the ' advanced'
portion of the " Fish Game " tutorial. :)

Anyway... Im fairly new to programming/scripting so please bare with me
and save the 'heckling' till im out of the room.. ;)

I completed the first tutorial with flting colors.
Now im at the Fish Game chapter 4.

4. Adjusting Movement

My HERO...." The Fish ".... wont turn around for me when I tell it to in Game.. He will however, Change movement direction but still looks in the original facing direction. ( He's Moonwalking to the left)
Will Someone do a favor for me and have a look at what I have in the script and possably explain to me why this HERO wont turn around
before he gets eaten alive.....

function PlayerFish::onLevelLoaded(%this, %scenegraph)
{
$FishPlayer = %this;
moveMap.bindCmd(keyboard, "w", "fishPlayerUp();", "fishPlayerUpStop();");
moveMap.bindCmd(keyboard, "s", "fishPlayerDown();", "fishPlayerDownStop();");
moveMap.bindCmd(keyboard, "a", "fishPlayerLeft();", "fishPlayerLeftStop();");
moveMap.bindCmd(keyboard, "d", "fishPlayerRight();", "fishPlayerRightStop();");
}


function fishPlayerUp()
{
$FishPlayer.setLinearVelocityY( -15 );
}


function fishPlayerDown()
{
$FishPlayer.setLinearVelocityY( 15 );
}


function fishPlayerLeft()
{
$FishPlayer.setLinearVelocityX( -30 );
$this.setFlipX(true);
}

function fishPlayerRight()
{
$FishPlayer.setLinearVelocityX( 30 );
$this.setFlipX(false);
}


function fishPlayerUpStop()
{
$FishPlayer.setLinearVelocityY( 0 );
}

Thanks,
Dan

Ok so I have been troubleshooting this simple script and still the
(now called) Stupid Fish wont turn around. I broke the script down to just the " Left Turn Key " ( A ) and he still MoonWalks backward.
Heres what I have

function PlayerFish::onLevelLoaded(%this, %scenegraph)
{
$this.setFlipX(true);
$FishPlayer = %this;
moveMap.bindCmd(keyboard, "a", "fishPlayerLeft ();", "fishPlayerLeftStop();");
}

function fishPlayerLeft()
{
$this.setFlipX(true);
$FishPlayer.setLinearVelocityX( -30 );
}

function fishPlayerLeftStop()
{
$FishPlayer.setLinearVelocityX( 0 );
}

any ideas?
