That is really neat!

Where did you find this?

It was made in flash, but flash does not do bones.

If I could download it and look at it I would probally bet that it is mostly action scripts dynamic scripting.

Yes that was actionscripted. That is the concept of bone system more or less.

I use Bones from time to time- In reality what we have is a system were you draw a bone into a KM shape and then move the bone and the shapes points and curves more or less follows the bone. We cannot combine the bones with other shapes yet so its uses are somewhat limited but still usefull from time to time.

What you have here are shapes that are Actionscripted to follow the draglines and to move in a more or less joined fashion with some symple gravity included.

I will add more bones capability in the Feb time frame. There has been so little public interest that I had to move on to more important things.

I found this a little while ago while browsing philterdesign.com (another simple but neat site), and I bookmarked it. I spent half a day playing with this -- Gawd, I need a life.

Frank, It cached on me so look in your Temp Internet files. You could ask the author, they put their name in the help section, if they would show you the FLA if you wanted to see the scripts as they wrote it or then again you could parse it with one of many Parsers that show AS, again you should ask for permission, and get the idea of what they did.
