An answer and a question. 1) Yes, with collision detection you can get the finger to stop once it hits the gun ASSUMING both figures are "Collision Detection" compatible. I have been finding that collision detection doesn't work on all figures. 2) Let's say you have an animation with frames 1 to 400 and you want to delete frames 1-50. How do you do it? Deleting off the end is easy -- change the end counter. How do you delete frames from the beginning?? Mark
