hey all,

I’ve been doing this Super smash bros + street figher… -like game…  
And i’m up to the animations for the “hurt” phrase…

What it does is that it animates when Player one hits player two…  
However… I want it to have a different scene… if Player ONE comes from behind and hits player 2 on the back…

What piece of actionscript can i use to detect if player2 is facing away from player one?

Thanks
