Hi, I’ve asked this question before, so sorry if im a bit stupid, but my question is, how do i make object trail ( which was made by duplucating a movieclip and having it follow in actionscript) Rotate when the object it is following rotates. Right now when i use the rotate tool the trails just stay in their vertical position.

Once again im sorry, but everything i’ve learned so far is off this site, this is the one problem that i cant find a tutorial for, the tutorials for mouse trailers dont help me at all.

i gave you some code last time but it was just the trailer portion, to get the rotation, there are just a few extra lines of code, here’s a simple fla…
