Newbie - Movement Direction

Hi I'm a newby working through the Game Salad Manual creating the Basic Shoot Em Up game.

I'm on page 15 and have just created 4 rules, one for up, down, left and right.

With direction at 0, the ship moves to the right.

What values cause movement to the left, up and down.

The manual (frustratingly) does not explain what values to use.

I've tried text 'left' and it still moved to the right. I've guessed numeric values with erratic results.

Are these values shown somewhere?

Any help appreciated.

Thank you

    next to the 0 there is a little circle. you can move that circle to the direction you want and then the value will be shown automatically
    right is 0 and 360
    so when you want to go up its 90
    left is 180
    and down is 270

    sorry for bad explanation but I think you will understand :)
