Need some help

Hey all, im fairly competent now about this tutorial…
http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/pongout.htm
but I am curious abut two things…

  1. Instead of a Bar at the bottom I wanna use a MC that will rotate in the center of the stage… With one half acting as a paddle, and the other side being a game over or life over side…

  2. Also with the MC in the middle i want to use the arrays to make a pattern or whatnot grid around the middle move clip, so there is only one way to die and that is from the ball MC hittin ghte backside of the middle mc?
