hi all,

can anyone tell me how i can do the following.  
attached is an fla file - this fla contains a ragdoll that works perfectly - but - i don’t want it to fall to the floor everytime - i want the head mc to stay at a fixed position on the stage…

so all of the other mc’s fall relative to the head… if that makes sense - so as the whole form looks as if it is hanging in mid air.

i’ve tried a lot of things to try and achieve this but - it either stops working altogether or it just falls straight to the floor.

How do I give the head mc a fixed/set/absolute position on the stage??
