animating a stick man !!!

[chucky]

I'm trying to animate a simple cartoon stick man to walk, run around or basically just move in a smooth human-like way and it just seems like a tweening nightmare !

Am I spose to seperate arms and legs and animate them bit by bit ?

Is there an easier way ..anyone?

help obliged asap !!! :-)

I was trying to animate an actual man which looked really realistic and the only way i found ot do it was by seperating him down into his parts and making an animation of one step which can be repeated and speeded up to make him look like he's walking and or running etc etc sorry i don't know an easier way but there shouldn't be too much repetitive stuff if you only make the one step...

Check out Vector Video Animations in the Movies section of this site. There a couple of FLAs there you can use.
