Thank you RobCat. that worked. it draws it from frame 30 however. I guess there's not a way for us to make it draw a single specified frame... Maybe they can add this in a later version or something. In anycase, this will do the job right now. Thanx again, I appreciate your help.

I'm a bit confused on how to use onion skinning. I'm animating a character and would like to see frame 15 as that's the mirror of a walk cycle. I know about paste mirrored for characters but the way this character is setup it's not an option. So I'm trying to match frame 45 with frame 15 except mirrored (to some point). My problem is that I can't make the onion skin feature JUST show me frame 15... Any help would be appreciated. Thanx everyone.

Game maker 8 is FREE yes. If you're looking to make a multiplayer game than you can register the pro edition for only $20. there are alot more features than just that and I encourage you to get the pro version. I made THIS if you care to check it out. It's a much more powerful tool than people know.

if you don't need flash I would try game maker by yoyogames the mplay functions are easy to use. or if you do try games factory by clickteam (I believe they have a flash export)
