scaleX - how to flip character

hello all. I’m quite new here, a beautiful site/forum.

I’m just building my first flash game and I can’t scale my character on right or left arrow.

My samurai is moving fine with the arrows (or wasd). The problem is that the samurai is actually 4 movie clips: His head, his body, his feet, his stuff, all with different width, and when I am scaling all of them the whole figure of samurai is destroyed.

I can’t explain it quite well so, I posted the swf [SIZE=“5”]here[/SIZE]. (move to the left)

Please check it and tell me what I should do to achieve a normall scaling.

In addition. How can I figure out how much should I scale a mc to get the **exact **‘image’ flipped ?

Thx in advance
