OK, I have this:

> **[ImageShack - Best place for all of your image hosting and image sharing needs](https://imageshack.com/)**

I want it so the legs do not overlap. Here is part of the code for the legs:

> [@""Actionscript""](#):
>
> var dx = this.\_x-body\_mc.\_x;  
> var dy = this.\_y-body\_mc.\_y;  
> var angle = Math.atan2(dy, dx);  
> var targetX = body\_mc.\_x+Math.cos(angle)\*radius;  
> var targetY = body\_mc.\_y+Math.sin(angle)\*radius;

How might I achieve this? Any advice is appreciated.
