**umm i dont really see what pom’s 4th volley did… can someone explain what it did? **
It added the afterburner effect (the flames that come out the back of the ship).
Would any of you be interested in starting another ASTennis match of a more abstract nature?
-Al
Sure Al, go ahead, start the thread 
Oh, and Fla checked out
thats weird… when i run it i only see part of the ship in the top left corner… and when i move the whole screen moves… no afterburner or anything
oh wait now i see it… i have to maximize the screen to see it though…
yeah, i have to fix my volley sometime. I made it so the movie moves instead of the ship, like a side scroller. I’m going to make the ship move instead.
is that why it stays stuck in the top left corner?
I’m trying to modify this, as a matter of fact, but for some reason, the stars don’t appear at the right place :-\
