OK, I'll give it another shot. Thanks.

Indeed, it was. Much simpler than I thought it was going to be,

Victor:

Thanks for the recommended tutorial, but it deals with Vector art which is essentially Bezier lines so the bones have some points to manipulate. I think I'll just have to break my limbs into two pieces.

Well...I'm partly there. I moved the Switch Layer, and the Origin Point. If I step through the animation, Key Frame by Key Frame, he moves fine. But if I just move the Scrubber from Frame 1 to Frame 47, he bounces all over the place. Here's a Dropbox link to the animation. I need a more experienced ...

This looks like the leg is only 1 image, am I right? So if you layer bind this to one bone, it naturally can't follow another bone. I take your point. I think I was misled by some tutorial I saw on YouTube where a chain of bones made a water hose flex, or some such. Perhaps it was not even an ASP t...

I was telling a friend about Anime' Studio who replied that he needed a short animation done for a Blog article he was writing. It concerns how often young, black men die in d' Hood. He asked for a group walking down the street, and, one-by-one, they just disappear. I've got them all drawn and broke...

Thanks Greenlaw...that's a very clever solution. I'll give it a shot. Before I saw it, I had gone ahead and replicated the six frames six times over, re-numbered and positioned them sequentially across the stage. 'Took 31 to go the distance. 'Put them all in a Switch Layer, and moved the Scrubber fo...

Thanks, Greenlaw. Your advice is pretty close to what I've already done. (I did not use the Import Image Sequence script. 'Just imported one-by-one, then added a switch layer and inserted the frames) And I've got it set to Cycle: Frames 1-6 and then back again 6-1, on three's. But it only gets me ha...

I have a gnome-like character that I did years ago and re-found in an portfolio. I want to make him walk across the screen. I imported all six cells twice, but he only makes it half way across. I want to make an Action from this sequence. I've highlighted all the Keys, selected "New Action"...

Thanks. Motion is coming soon...I hope!

Hayasidist was right. All of your invisible layers are either because the 'eyes' visible icon is turned off in the layers window or the layer setting 'Visible' checkbox is unchecked. I had a feeling that there would be a simple solution to this, seeing as I had it working once. (I love simple solut...

I'm a little vague on how Dropbox works, but I think this might do it.

it's the embed code for your image that isn't working -- but it is at http://tinypic.com /usermedia.php?uo=XaTRJmVkC3f%2BHgzGF8iGYoh4l5k2TGxc --. I discovered this myself this afternoon. I had copied the URL of the page instead of the code for the image. As for images/layers: there are 2 for the ba...

Greenlaw: Taking your queries in order: I am pulling the images from a desktop folder. It has not moved. 'Went to Layer Settings, but do not see how to re-link the images. (if you could point me at it...?) Not sure what constitutes "a lot" of images (newbie here) but there will be two drum...

hayasidist: Thanks for the come-back, but it didn't help. "Visible" is checked and Opacity is set to 100%. I opened Settings for the layers that are visible, and I can see no difference twixt them and the invisible. I re-imported the art for an invisible layer, and it shows up just fine. I...
