Thanks- now I see where you can do this. I'm thinking this could be a quick way to make lightsaber effects on a video- if you track the base and tip of the lightsaber in the video, and bind a bone to that.

Is there a way to create a puppet that would be controlled from bones from the top down, in similar fashion of a marionette puppet? I tried the following setup and put the bone layer inside a group with physics enabled, but all this does is cause the entire "puppet" to fall and fall: http:...

Can only layers be bound to video tracking points, not individual points within a vector layer? Can bones be bound to video tracking?

Awesome! I had no idea about that tool or the lost doodle tool- just installed them both!

Cool- got it working, thanks! This could work, except it's drawing freehand so not as precise. If I wanted to make them 3-d dominoes (using 3-d layers), is there anyway to make it so that each layer created is 3d?

Hmm- I did that but it's still not creating new layers. Scatterbrush is working, but everything is staying on the same layer

I'm using Anime Studio 7. I tried Ramon's scatterbrush script but it's not working? I put it in the scripts/menu/layer effects folder- is this correct?

Or better yet, have the dominoes automatically line up on a line that you draw! Not sure if that's possible though.

Also- if I were to create 3-d dominoes, there's no way to do a top-down (bird's eye) view of them collapsing, is there? So I could spell out words,etc, in falling dominoes?

Is there a faster way to create falling dominoes rather than creating a domino on 1 layer, copying it, and placing each subsequent domino down next to it (rinse and repeat)? If I want to create a long line of dominoes, is there a faster way to create them, like 10 at a time in a row?

thanks- Sorry you're right- I just didn't feel like joining yet another forum. Now let me turn this into a AS question: I think I messed up by doing each animation as separate AS files with separate SWF outputs for each- because FLASH is creating different assets for each SWF, right? I should have d...

Hey guys- I'm animating a talking character and he will be saying 9 or so different, short phrases. I'm animating each phrase and exporting it as a swf file. There will also be a looping animation for when the character is standing still and not talking. I have Flash installed on my computer. What I...

I was also wondering about how to do this. It'd be really nice if squash/stretch was built into physics. But I like the idea of using it just as a guide to animated on top of. One thing I've noticed is when physics is on it really bogs down my computer. So once the keyframes are made you pretty much...

thank selgin- I didn't realize bone strength needed to be on. I normally manually bind points and don't use it.

I'm having this problem with a character where I've used a tiled image for the fill on his clothing: http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d140/jhbmw007/imagetextureproblem.jpg The gray on his sleeves isn't there when his arms are down- it appears the image only get tiled/repeated for so far and then an...

Is it just me or are the raise/lower shape buttons missing? The only way to access these is from the menu now? Also used to be able to press the "p" key to "peak" a point when selected- this does not appear to work anymore.
