I have the same problem as antipathetickid but the explosion animation plays in the top corner when my ship collides with the enemy ship. If i shoot the enemy ship nothing happens, it doesn't even play the animation. Please help!
Anybody who is having background issues, read this. You need to copy the background GRAPHIC, not MOVIE CLIP, inside the background MOVIE CLIP, not the GRAPIC. So just double click on the MOVIE CLIP, and copy the same GRAPHIC and paste it next to the other one. I hope thats understandable =]
