This is a fallowup to my other thread, [http://www.kirupa.com/forum/showthread.php?t=314464](http://www.kirupa.com/forum/showthread.php?t=314464), but this is a completely different question. I now have a fully functionnal jet plane which fires tiny red bullets. Now, I want to be able to alternate between bullet/ammo types on the fly, with a shortcut like shift or something, but not neceserilly that, (but the key work isn’t my problem) from the red bullet to something like a yellow laser, which are both tiny little images to the left of the stage, beside the walls. I’ll attach the file I have up to now.

Thanks in advance!

Edit: It was suggested to me in the Actionscript 1.0/2.0 forums to post this here, so thats why the same question is being asked a second time in 2 different forums… Please delete the other one in there Mods? 🙂
