How would I make the Pac-Man in *my* version do the same? (Hint: how
could anyone possibly know, since I haven't yet provided any information on
how I implemented the game?) Programming is a complex subject, and each
effort is a unique challenge. What steps have you taken so far? Are you
coding in AS1, AS2, or AS3?

The MovieClip class features a number of useful properties, methods, and
events, that may interest you in regard to your game (assuming you're coding
in AS2). You might use the MovieClip._rotate property, for example, to
rotate your Pac-Man clip. You might use the MovieClip._width or
MovieClip._xscale properties to horizontally flip your clip.

Are you programming this game from scratch, or are you meshing together
snippets from existing code?
