Hi

Im having trouble with what should be a very basic bit of tweening. I have a small peaice of text that I want to “flip”. Like you would flip a coin. The problem I’m having is, instead of it fliping, its “rotating”.

I have my text, I convert it into a Movie Symbol (with the registration point centred). I tell it to flip horizontally, and it rotates 180 degrees anticlockwise instead.

I have an example of the problem Im having attached.

Any help would not go under appriciated.
