MovieClipX
MovieClipX (mcx) is a very slick library based off the original MovieClip library for Corona SDK. It adds a few very awesome features including
- mcx objects. A MovieClip master object capable of housing multiple different MovieClip animations.
- Retina display support.
- Animation speed control.
- And more features coming soon.
Usage Tutorial
I'd recommend following the tutorial listed here to learn the proper way to use MovieClipX.
Extra tip: to automatically scale down your graphics for older phones use my utility MultiRezer instead of doing your sprites one by one! MultiRezer download: http://project239.com/multirezer
