Although I think something different may have been happening with that guy. And also, -56 and 56 look like good flip-values for _xscale, there's no (noticeable) squashing/stretching of the clip.

mc._xscale = -50; //almost perfect horizontal flip, squashes it slightly, yet to find the "perfect" number

Natrually, my first impulse is to just horizontally flip the sprite when it needs to face the other direction. However, from what I've seen, it doesn't look like AS has any sort of "movieClip.flip" function or anything similar. I've tried duplicating all the frames and flipping them individually to get some animation for the other direction, but for some reason it's unaligning them on the X axis which makes the animation look weird.

So yeah, my question is, is there any easy way to flip a Movie Clip in AS?
