What I'm trying to do is have the main character and the main characters weapons as seperate sprites. Simple technique - the benefits are obvious and if you don't know what I'm talking about you probably can't think up a solution anyways.
So heres my problem. When the main character changes animations, the different weapons must change their animations to match that of the main character right? Well, this sometimes works but other times the animations are out of sync. In other words frame 1 of main character would play while fram 2 of weapon would be playing, frame 2 of main character playing, frame 3 of weapon playing etc.
I tried two versions of code. The first goes something like this:
Press SPACE
- Main character change animation to attack
- Weapon change animation to attack
The 2nd version uses fast loops:
Press SPACE
- Begin loop "anim attack"
On Loop "Anim attack"
- Main character change animation to attack
- Weapon change animation to attack
Both versions have frequent animation synchronization problems; and although you'd think the 2nd version would work better, its actually worse :S
Help appreciated.

I just realized i posted this in the wrong forums

Have you tried
+Press Space
-Change to attack animations
+Main Character Animation "Attack" Playing
+Weapon Animation Attack Playing
-Set animation frame of Weapon to CurrentFrame(Character)
Not the exact syntax but hopefully you see my point.
