talking snake?

Hi.

I can make a snake, as a single vector layer, move along a path OK, clicking with the Alt key. But can I make it do this while lip-syncing? Any grouping or switching in the character also seems to make it unable to move snake-fashion along a path. How might I do this?

btw interpolating between mouth positions is a neat feature.

thanks

You will need two layers. A vector layer for the snake body (which will bend to the path) and a bone (or group) layer with all the head layers, included the switch for the mouth. That bone layer must follow the path at the same time that the body vector layer.
So, in resume, the body will bend with the path, but the head will follow it rigidly.
