I know that in the previous Actionscripting days you can flip a Movieclip through the use of \_xscale and \_yscale. So I suspected that you can do the very same in Actionscript 3.0 by using its equivalent - DisplayObject.scaleX and DislayObject.scaleY. But when I tried to do this. my Movieclip stretched across the entire stage. How can I flip a Movieclip so that the left side is at the right, and vice-versa. Thanks guys =D

\*\*EDIT: \*\*Sorry, I figured out my problem. I forgot the little asterisk =D
