Hi all,

I’ve got an asteroids game on the go, from a tutorial on [www.studiowhiz.com](http://www.studiowhiz.com)

The problem I have is making the ship explode before resetting. I just can’t seem to get it right! I’ll upload what I’ve got so far and if anyone can help that’d be great.

Its in MX2004Pro. I added the explosion animation in frame 3 of “ship” but I have an idea that it might need to be a seperate explosion movie clip instead… I’m just at very good at this kinda stuff yet.

p.s. the graphics are just temporary so don’t worry about that!

Thanks,  
Stuart
