jumpButton.x  = moveLeftButton.x + moveLeftButton.width + moveRightButton.x + moveRightButton.width + 500

    

#2

you want your character to move in the Left direction?? easy

#3

use the  “translate” function …look it up. then combine it with a runtime event that follows the logic 'while left button is pressed (event.phase == “began”), keep on going left and in the event.phase == “ended”, stop the runtime event function, so ur character stops too
