I just tried what you just wrote, and it didn't work for me. I used the same MOHO file I sent you yesterday. If you still have it, choose the Bind Layer tool and click on the "R foot" layer and it won't highlight a bone. Same for "R Upper leg". It worked on the other layers, thou...

What was the problem? In a nutshell, my problem started by not understanding the following: Duplicate Layer used on vector art that has been bound to a layer via Bind Layer, will also duplicate the bone-relationship from the original layer. It's not an easy problem to solve by yourself, I think, be...

Thanks for the emailed reply, LostMarble!

Thanks a million,

I e-mailed it to your support address.

Thanks,

I just tried to duplicate the problem, and I discovered something interesting. I made a new rig with a body and a 3-part left leg and tested it. The Bind Layer tool worked fine and the leg bent perfectly. Then I used Cut and Paste to duplicate the left thigh to make a right thigh, and used Duplicate...

I'm 99.5% sure I've been using the Bind Layer tool and not the Bind Points tool by mistake. I've never used the Bind Points tool for anything, so I'm not likely to click on it by habit. And I'm careful to click where I want to click. This is what happens, LostMarble. I have a leg divided into three ...

Hi, Tony here. I have a problem with the Bind Layer tool. Sometimes it grabs some points from another layer beyond the layer it's supposed to be binding. I don't know why it does this, or how to release those points. It forces me to rearrange my vector shapes and move them far apart (to end overlapp...

Ah! That did it. Thanks.

Nifty....!

Ooo, I want to know how you did that. I tried to view the Moho file, but all I got was code. I cut and pasted a small part of the code below to show you what I mean... "### static values dimensions 320 240 frame_range 1 72 fps 24 back_color 234 234 234 255 noise_grain 0 allow_3d true depth_sort...

I'm only learning Moho, so I had to figure out what you were talking about before I could test it - but if you mean can you use the scroll button to dial the numbers up and down then the answer is yes. Some operations with the mouse are a bit fast though - might need to slow down the action in syst...

Does anybody have Apple's new Mighty Mouse? If so, does the Scroll Ball allow you to set bone constraints, like a scroll wheel?

Mighty Mouse is Apple's new multi-button mouse, presently shown on Apple's home page (apple.com)...in case you didn't know and were wondering.

I made my own custom color swatch for the Styles Window. My swatch has several hundred colored boxes on it, so the individual boxes of color appear extremely small when I turn it on in the Styles Window. Is there a way to enlarge the swatch box? Or is there some other work-around for this problem? T...

Ohhhhh!
It hadn't occured to me that the leader was to blame.
Now I get it. Thanks for explaining!

First, thanks for including a Quicktime version. It's the only player I'm using right now on my Mac, and it doesn't do WMVs. Second, I like the colors and design. And the animation. Third, I don't get it. I'm guessing it's about a suicide bomber infiltrating a group of soldiers, but the talking guy'...

I already bought it, use it, and love it.

But alas, it's interface is too intimidating and complex for daughter, who will be 8 next month.

She is loving Monkey Jam, though. Just today, she's made 2 short movies of her toys chasing one another.
