The "move()" method moves the Actor in the direction that Actor is facing. What you want is something that moves independently of which way it faces. Use "setLocation(int newX, int newY)" instead. So, if you want the ball to move to the left, just use "setLocation(getX() - speed, getY());" If you want it to move to the right, use "setLocation(getX() + speed, getY());" To move it up, "setLocation(getX(), getY() - speed);", and down: "setLocation(getX(), getY() + speed);". Where "speed" is an integer. Play around with its value, but I'd say speed = 10 is a good place to start.
