I’m thing about this for few days.  
I must animate character which has separate head and separate body.  
Body comes in SWF, and i should attach head on it.  
Obviously, there comes a problem - head does not follow body moves.  
I tried attaching it as child - nothing.  
I tried making bones between them - nothing.  
At this moment, only thing is working is to animate head holder clip by hand, and than attach head to it…  
Any suggestions?
