So right now i'm making an animated short- But i've been having to constantly redraw the stick figure's body parts in every frame. (Use of mouse pad is part of the problem but that's not important) Does anyone have any ideas on an easier way to get the body parts down?

That's the way you're going to have to do it

ahhhh. well thanks anyways! I'm almost done :D

Redraw every time? You can copy frames in flash, that isn't doing the job for you?

he means that like, every time he want's to re position his figure he has to redraw him in a different pose as opposed to pivot
the closest thing to that in flash would be like, animating in line tool and copy pasting the previous frame every time, but that's more tedious then just doing it normally so

You could try bone animation, which would be a good idea for complicated and detailed character figures, but since we're talking about stick figures I'd say that method is more trouble than its worth.
