    Is there an easy way to flip an object horizontally within a comp?

    In this case, there are cartoon characters that are facing one way (say, to the right); I’d like an easy way to flip the characters so they are facing the other way (say, to the left).

    Is there an easy way to do this without having to turn on 3D Layers? Also, I have 5.5.

    Thanks,
    Mike

    set the x-scale to a negative value ie (-100,100)

    If you also need to scale the thing up or down as well, try doing the flop using effect>distort>transform, making the horizontal scale negative 100 there.
