This is a bit of a simple question but this problem has been irritating me a great deal  
I am trying to fake a full 3d rotation by skewing my mc(movie clip)  
I have the registration point at the top center and i am progressively skewing the mc by 90 as in:  
90 - 180 - 270 - 360/-0  
the mc is supposed to shrink horizontally till it practically dissappears then begins to increase in size but as a mirror image of itself and then repeating this till it gets back to its original shape and orientation  
but as soon as i get to 90 or 270 the movie kinda rotates and stretches vertically while shrinking on the horizontal plane  
I have seen some one do this perfectly using the same method  
Please help
