Looking for people with basic knowledge (but beyond tutorials and the intuitive or oblivous) about using Animator Studio. Need some simple tips like how to tie sprites together to get them to chase each other. Barry

hi Barry. can you elaborate a bit. i'm sure this is very doable but i need to know… are we talking about lagging a motion path of a sprite, or are we talking independent motion paths?lots of ways to do this. one is to simply use the sprite tool. -dave

Dave, Thanks, I'll give it a try. Barry

Dave, Thanks for your reply. To be very specific, I'm animating a horse pulling a wagon. I'd like to build the horse and wagon as separate sprites and then lock them together when necessary (this way I can use the horse without the wagon at times) This is probably way more specific than you meant, but if you could give me your thoughts, it will probably result in a better end product and even save some time. Many thanks in advance. Barry

>> them together when necessary (this way I can use the horse without the wagon at times) << Makes sense, and very doable. are you using clip art of horse and wagon or drawing cartoon? clip art animation is very easy and quick to generate. example… the budweiser cart… clone ink would fix up a horse in no time, and the other 7 horses and beer wagon could be pasted on too. -dave
