Couple of MovieClip questions

Hi, I’ve got a couple of questions about using movieclips.

Firstly, is it possible to duplicate a movieclip?

Or if I do this:

local mc1 = movieclip.newAnim({
“mc0001.png”,
“mc0002.png”,
“mc0003.png”})

local mc2 = movieclip.newAnim({
“mc0001.png”,
“mc0002.png”,
“mc0003.png”})

Will it not import the PNGs twice??

Also, is it possible to invert the scale of a movieclip?
mc2:scale(-1,1) doesn’t seem to work… [import]uid: 34358 topic_id: 7304 reply_id: 307304[/import]

Regarding the scaling - after a little experimenting it seems that

movieclip:scale( -1, 1 ) – doesn’t work

movieclip.xScale = -1 – does work [import]uid: 34358 topic_id: 7304 reply_id: 25973[/import]

movieclip:scale( -1, 1 ) does work… :slight_smile: [import]uid: 13978 topic_id: 7304 reply_id: 29586[/import]
