Character animation help

Hi all, I have been playing around with game salad for a few days, made several mini games so far. However I've been having a few issues. I've searched the forums and Youtube tutorials, however I was unable to find anything to answer my questions.

So here it is:

I have a set of animations set to a character for walking right and left with the arrow keys, and space for attack.

My first question is, when I finish walking left my character automatically returns to the default image facing right. How do I make it that he idles in whichever direction he was facing?

Secondly, how would I do the same for the attack button? How do I make it that pressing space will carry out the correct animation correlating with the direction he is currently facing?

And finally, pressing any of the arrow keys and attack button simultaneously would cause the character to glitch since GS would be trying to carry out both animations at once.
My question is how do I make the character carry out the move behavior while doing the attack animation with both these keys down?
I've tried playing around with the rules, switching from "all" to "any" conditions valid but to no avail.

Hope that was easy to understand, Thanks.
