ok im confused and i cant seem to find a tutorial on this subject. if i was trying to make, say a ship that had fire coming out the back when going forward, how would i do the actionscript to make it so that it changes to the ship with fire coming out to the one that is normal. would i use indtance names, or putting one mc inside another, or put thim all into different frames? ahhh! so confusing! _head explodes_

thanks.
