Pro 1.1.0: Control Pad input no longer works!?

Has any1 got pad input working with the latest version cause i can't!?

moveMap.bind(joystick0, "yaxis", playerUpDown);
	 moveMap.bind(joystick0, "xaxis", playerLeftRight);

//REM Pad Input movement
function playerLeftRight(%val)
{
	 player.moveLeft = false; player.moveRight = false; player.updateMovement();
	 if (%val $= -1)
   {
   	player.moveLeft = true; player.updateMovement();
   	error(" Left=",%val);
   }
	 if (%val $= 1)
   {
   	player.moveRight = true; player.updateMovement();
   	error(" Right=",%val);
   }
}

function playeUpDown(%val)
{	 
	 player.moveUp = false; player.moveDown = false; player.updateMovement();
	 if (%val $= -1)
   {
   	player.moveUp = true; player.updateMovement();
   	error(" Up=",%val);
   }
	 if (%val $= 1)
   {
   	player.moveDown = true; player.updateMovement();
   	error(" Down=",%val);
   }   
}

If you can, please share your wisdom :) Thanks in advance
