Hi All,

Looking for a starting point for how to do the following if possible.

Attached is an fla file that has a number of movieclips which make up the head, torso and limbs of a man - there is also a little rope clip there too.

What I am trying/hoping to do is make all of the clips link up and create the effect of the man hanging from the rope (sounds a lot more morbid than it should!!!)

and the other thing that I am trying to do is to make each clip (apart from the head and rope) draggable and when dragged all the linked clips move in accordance - a bit like the ragdoll effect.

this link is pretty much the effect that i am trying to create…

Anyone know where to start? I have tried a few things but nothing works quite as it should - so I am hoping that someone here can put me right please?

Here’s hoping…
