.facingRight inaccessable due to protection level

I just started playing with Unity like 3 days ago. I've watched both the tutorials on the site and created my own player control script. I don't know how to do guns or projectiles or even melee so I tried to copy and paste the gun script from the demo provided. I tried to tweak it to reference my script but I keep getting t$$anonymous$$s

Assets/obama/scripts/Gun.cs(32,39): error CS0122: `obamacontroller.facingRight' is inaccessible due to its protection level

I also don't understand the (x,x). I realize that the 32 is the line but what's the second digit mean?

I've also added an older screenshot of my 'game'..

Here are my two scripts.
T$$anonymous$$s is the player control.

 using UnityEngine;
 using System.Collections;
 
 public class obamacontroller : MonoBehaviour
 {
     public float maxSpeed = 10f;
     bool facingRight = true;
 
     Animator anim;
     
 
     bool grounded = false;
     public Transform groundCheck;
     float groundRadius = 0.2f;
     public LayerMask whatIsGround;
     public float jumpForce = 700f;
 
     bool doubleJump = false;
 
 
 
     void Start () 
     {
         anim = GetComponent<Animator> ();
     }
 
     void FixedUpdate () 
     {
         grounded = Physics2D.OverlapCircle (groundCheck.position, groundRadius, whatIsGround);
         anim.SetBool ("Ground", grounded);
 
         if (grounded)
                         doubleJump = false;
 
         anim.SetFloat ("vSpeed", rigidbody2D.velocity.y);
 
 
 
 
         float move = Input.GetAxis ("Horizontal");
 
         anim.SetFloat ("Speed", Mathf.Abs(move));
 
         rigidbody2D.velocity = new Vector2(move * maxSpeed, rigidbody2D.velocity.y);
 
         if(move > 0 &&!facingRight)
                         Flip ();
                 else if(move < 0 && facingRight)
                         Flip ();
     }
 
     void Update()
     {
         
                 if (Input.GetKeyDown ("h")) {
                         punch = true;
                 }
             
                         if ((grounded || !doubleJump) && Input.GetKeyDown (KeyCode.Space)) {
                                 anim.SetBool ("Ground", false);
                                 rigidbody2D.AddForce (new Vector2 (0, jumpForce));
 
                                 if (!doubleJump && !grounded)
                                         doubleJump = true;
                         }
                 }
 
     void Flip()
     {
 
     
 
 
         facingRight = !facingRight;
         Vector3 theScale = transform.localScale;
         theScale.x *= -1;
         transform.localScale = theScale;
     }
 
     }

and then the gun.cs

using UnityEngine; using System.Collections;

public class Gun : MonoBehaviour { public Rigidbody2D rocket; // Prefab of the rocket. public float speed = 20f; // The speed the rocket will fire at.

 public obamacontroller playerCtrl;        // Reference to the PlayerControl script.
 public Animator anim;                    // Reference to the Animator component.


 void Awake()
 {
     // Setting up the references.
     anim = transform.root.gameObject.GetComponent<Animator>();
     playerCtrl = transform.root.GetComponent<obamacontroller>();
 }


 public void Update ()
 {
     // If the fire button is pressed...
     if(Input.GetButtonDown("Fire1"))
     {
         // ... set the animator Shoot trigger parameter and play the audioclip.
         anim.SetTrigger("Shoot");
         audio.Play();

         // If the player is facing right...
         if(playerCtrl.facingRight)
         {
             // ... instantiate the rocket facing right and set it's velocity to the right. 
             Rigidbody2D bulletInstance = Instantiate(rocket, transform.position, Quaternion.Euler(new Vector3(0,0,0))) as Rigidbody2D;
             bulletInstance.velocity = new Vector2(speed, 0);
         }
         else
         {
             // Otherwise instantiate the rocket facing left and set it's velocity to the left.
             Rigidbody2D bulletInstance = Instantiate(rocket, transform.position, Quaternion.Euler(new Vector3(0,0,180f))) as Rigidbody2D;
             bulletInstance.velocity = new Vector2(-speed, 0);
         }
     }
 }

}
