Ok, here's the situation.

I have a army guy that is on the stage and IT IS NOT a symbol yet.
This army guy has a gun in his hand*
Anyways, what I want to achieve is having an animation of the army gun shooting his gun with his arm moving back from the impact. ya know? Also, i would like to have sound in it as well.

So to achieve this I was wondering if anyone out there can help me do this, maybe make a short turtorial on it. If i find out how to do this, I will be not as confused anymore. Also, I hope the turtorial or whatever contains something about making the army guy into it's own movie clip. Please help me on this one. Thanks in advance
