Nested movie clips?

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion

Quick question, is it possible to nest one movieclip inside another?

I ask because my game consists of an animation of a character walking along. The characters legs animate hence I have made the legs a separate movie clip.

If I wanted to rotate the entire character, ideally I would need the legs and body, head etc to all be part of one movie clip that I can rotate. Hence this outer movie clip would contain an inner movie clip of the leg animation etc.

Possibly there is an alternative solution if this is not possible?

Thanks

Add both to a group and rotate that group. [import]uid: 5712 topic_id: 1608 reply_id: 4630[/import]

Ah brilliant! I am so glad this is possible. I though groups were just for organising assets. Being able to rotate and move groups really opens up great possibilities.

Mike, that works perfectly! I had to change the xReference and yReference so it rotated around the center but that was a breeze.

Pretty cool this Corona! One of my favourite beers too:) [import]uid: 7863 topic_id: 1608 reply_id: 4633[/import]
