I tried what someone told me to do about my prob (see merging sprites post). However it didn't work the way I need it to. I have two sperate "sprites" in the same channel. One starts on frame 20 and goes to 30, the other from 31 to 41. On the first sprite I have a script that cycles through members changing their apperance. I want these appearances to carry over to frame 31 to 41, but they're 2 seperate sprites. Plus to further complicate things, I have keyframe animation. So I guess what I'm asking is how to carry over the props rather easily, since there appears to be no easy way to combine them. Thanx
