Hello! In a game I am making, I have a ninja character :ninja:. I want him to be able to throw shurikans (shurekans, shurikens?). Anyway, I want him to throw a shurikan when I press space. I unfortunately can’t find out how to use attachMovie or duplicateMovieClip for these pruposes (or at all, for that matter). Please help! Oh, and here’s the .swf:

Don’t worry if the art is crappy, that’s my last priority right now.  
Any other feedback is appreciated too!
