What would be a way to create stick animations and which way would be the best?  
If frame-by-frame, how would you make it smooth?

Hmm, do you mean like stickman animations?  
If so, You could probably just separate the body parts on to indivudal layers, then just use tweens. Its what I usually do =)  
I dunno if this helps…probably not =P
