Flipping Documentation Request

Hi, So... I just wanted to put this out there, I know it doesn't help the fact that I am a newbie when it comes to coding but. I have not found much on how to use the new Flipping in the Sprite Renderer rather than a negative Scale to flip sprites. I can only find this in the Unity Manual: http://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/SpriteRenderer-flipX.html

and this in the API Documentation: http://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/SpriteRenderer-flipX.html

Not really much in how to use it in code,
It would be great to see an example in the documentation such as Light in the API:

http://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Light.html

So... Yes, Just a Request. Thank you for your time.

 

This is separate because of the keyword "Rendering" "Only rendering is affected" It means your sprite is perfectly unaffected, it only mirrors itself for display. This way you can mirror objects in complex objects/hierarchies without affecting everything attached

 

Just to be clear, the above script that duck posted above is using C# (I believe) - for Unityscript you'd add a '.' following 'GetComponent' as below:

GetComponent.<SpriteRenderer>().flipX = true;
