There is another way to work in the program called inverse kinematics. Now I am not going to deal with this is great depth. I'm going to be perfectly honest with you, I detest it. I think it's not-ready-for-prime-time. It wasn't ready for prime time in Flash and it's not-ready-for-prime-time here. That's probably probably pretty brazen as I want to get about it.
