put a condition in the first part of your function or keyPress handler...

isCharacterFacingLeft = false;

if(Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)){
if(isCharacterFacingLeft){
// he is already facing that way so just move normally;
}else{
// turn it
mvcYourObject._xscale *=-1;
isCharacterFacingLeft = true;
}
}

something like that could get you started...
cheers

Can someone please help me with some action scripting. i am having trouble
trying to make an object flip horizontaly when you press a key in my case i am
making an interactive game and when you press the left or right key i want the
caracter to face that way. and i dont know what the tag is.

Well, yeah, but that's all you asked for, the code to make it flip. Thus the
importance of being clear in your specification.

See Mandingo's reply, which includes a conditional.
