Pls help with collides with backdrop problem

[Jaeu]

Greetings all
This is my first time trying to explain something on this forum so pls forgive any stupidities on my part.
Using MMF1 I managed to get my 'Active Object' to turn around by toggling 'flag 0' when it collided with a wall backdrop and was NOT facing in the down direction.

'Active Object' collides with backdrop............stop

'Active Object' collides with backdrop
+ (negate)'Active Object' direction (down)............Toggle flag 0

This USED to do 2 things it would not toggle the direction when the Object dropped down and landed on a floor backdrop but did toggle when it was moving left or right and ran into the wall backdrop.

It still works perfectly on MMF1 but MMF2 does not change the Objects direction when it drops down off a platform, it keeps the direction to the direction it was before it started dropping so it toggles when it lands on a floor and ignores the statement. I have set up counters to check the direction when the object is falling and it doesnt change. I have also tried many different statements to try and get this sorted but nothing works. I have tried by giving the object a down frame but still nothing. I know I can change the walls to Actives but my game has MANY levels and I would really like to fix this without having to go through all this. Is this a bug or do I need to set something.
I do hope I expressed my problem in a format that is understandable and ask once again to forgive me if I have strayed from any ettiquette.

Many thanks to all

The best way to see if there's anything wrong might be to upload the file (or a similar example) as an attachment in the file archive.

For the moment, it might be something to do with the order of your events - try moving your changing-direction event above or below the flag-toggling one.

Thx for the reply.
There is no direction change event. MMF1 auto changes the direction to down when an Active (Platform Movement) drops off a platform or backdrop and MMF2 does not change direction to down automatically.

Update:
I fixed this problem by adding the line

(negate)'Active Object' is stopped............ Set dir (down)

and now it works correctly
