Any seasoned Flash animators here? I just upgraded from CS3, and am enjoying all the new bone features. The Pin feature added in CS5.5 is a great addition, but I'm having problems with it.

For some reason, pinned joints keep... drifting. I notice, after posing the armature around for a while, that the pinned joints have drifted away from their desired locations, and I haven't found any way to easily fix this once it happens.

Can anyone offer tips for avoiding or reliably fixing this, without accidentally editing the bones?

Many thanks.

I haven't really used CS5.5 but I would imagine that you would need the joint to be in the center point of the image (shown to be a little crosshair in the center). Or at least establish an anchor of sorts. That's what I can figure at least.

I'm too used to the classic method sans-pins though.

You'd think that, but the bone I had pinned did have its anchor in the center of the symbol. Every time I moved the other bones, it would 'hop' a few pixels left/up, until it wasn't even close to the other bones anymore.

I figure it's just another thing Adobe can't get right, so I've deleted those particular bones and will do it the old-fashioned way. xP
