Is there anyway to group ojects with AS  
like

```auto

var Hat:MovieClip = attachMovie("Hat","MyHat",1)
var Head:MovieClip = attachMovie("Head","myHead",2)
//place head in middle of screen
Head._x = 300
Head._y = 300
//place hat on head
Hat._x = Head._x - 15 
Hat._y = Head._y - 30 
//this is what i need help with

createGoup("myHead","MyHat") // forms a group of the two objects

```

now when i do

```auto

_root.myHead._rotation = 45

```

would it rotate myHat so that its always on myHead?

Wy not put the Hat and Head movieclips into a movieclip. Then any transformation done to that movieclip would apply to both movieclips inside.

cause I need the hat to fly off the head towards the mouse and do hitTests  
when you click a mouse(it would ungroup and move towards mouse)

ok so its more of a bullet than a hat

the head has its own set of hitTests and they are two different objects that just need to move like one object…using only AS  
[edit] the only movement involved is rotation
