Hello,  
I have a symbol which stays stationary, and another symbol that moves around when I use the arrow keys.  
I want to make symbol1 (stationary one) to face symbol2 (the one I move).  
I’m guessing using \_rotation to make it face it depending on symbol2’s \_x and \_y position?  
Hope you can help,  
Thanks
