Sorry, again, for these questions about things that USED to work and now no longer work (in this case, at all) but I can't get a bone to reparent anymore.

This used to work just fine:

bone.fParent = parentID

assuming I have a child bone as "bone" and the ID of the parent I want to assign (gotten from a simple skel:CountBones() until the bone:Name() matches the name I'm looking for). Now it doesn't seem to do a thing, having no assignment at all for those bones I am trying to parent (the same script works fine in AS 9).

I assume that's because something major changed in the way bone parents work but, again (sigh) I can find no documentation anywhere that explains this. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I tried looking at the Lua pkg files for this, but half of them are not even formatted for readability. No line breaks at all.

It looks like you need to use both:

bone.fParent = parentID
bone.fAnimParent:SetValue(parentFrame, parentID)

This is probably because we can animate parenting now.

Yep, that was it. Thanks!

(I spent hours trying to figure out what was going on -- forgot all about animating parents).
