if you give those a good read, you’ll be able to get the effect you want. personally i don’t know physics that well to just bust out the code.

edit: woah just looked at your FLA, i think your definatly on the wrong track 😉

check out that link i posted

here is a new try at this, i cant seem to get my line to stay with my boxes. i know that it is some sort of miss match in the speed. i used that tutorial to make this, except the tutorial was for only moving one box. i added the the other boxes and the line, also if you click one of the bars below the boxes it should make the box move to a new location.

like i said the only problems i am having are the line not moving exactly with the box. also when you click the link to make the box move to the new location i want all the boxes to move to new locations not just the one you clicked.

any help would be cool

ok this should help you then

fla is in there

\*note this is from bit 101’s site, he wrote the original code, i just played around with it.

edit: btw, in this case i am using the drawing API for the legs, which in your case would probably be the best option.

well, your almost there.

now you just have to make the other two buttons move when you drag the first one.
