Need help with flash

Ok, I need someone's help please.

What I am trying to do is create a stick man in flash. What I am having trouble with is, the man is a movie clip and I am trying to make it so that he jumps up and down and his legs and arms simply swing back and forth.



When I try to do a shape tween, the shapes keep breaking into pieces before they get to where I want them. It's a little frustrating because I like the idea I have but I'm flash illiterate. But I need a stick man that I can manipulate with a scrolling background. Any Ideas?

You'll want to make each arm and leg a separate object within the movie clip and use motion tweens (not shape tweens) to move them. Also be sure to move the point around which the object rotates (I forget the name for it) to the actual joint where the movement occurs. (ie. elbows, knees, etc)

make your PIVOT point where the arm or leg pivots.
