Hi! I'm wondering what the correct approach is to this: I have a AtlasSpriteManager that I now simply add AtlasSprites to and it works just fine. But I have the need to make the AtlasSprites more dynamic. In this particular case I have enemyShips that can a shield around them. Can I subclass AtlasSprite and add both the enemy body and the shield as seperate layers and then add the twolayered AtlasSprite to the AtlasSpriteManager? Or should I have Two AtlasSpriteManagers? One for each layer?

The only possible child that can be added to an AtlasSpriteManager is an AtlasSprite.
And the AtlasSprite can't have any children.

What you can do is to add the shield as a child of the same AtlasSpriteManager.
And you should also schedule a timer, and in that timer you should update the shield position/scale/rotation. eg:
```
-(void) step:(ccTime)dt
{
   id shield = [spriteMgr getChildByTag:kTagShield];
   id sprite = [spriteMgr getChildByTag:kTagSprite];

   [shield setPosition: [sprite position]];
   [shield setScale: [sprite scale]];
   [shield setRotation: [sprite rotation]];
}
```
