Rotate elbows & knees Upper and lower arm or leg must be on separate layers and must be symbols. Select the free transform tool. Click on the first keyframe to select the part. Move the circle in the center of the symbol to the pivot point. Make another keyframe on the timeline. More frames between key frames will make it move slower. Both parts of the limb must have the same keyframes, one directly above the other. Rotate the upper and lower parts on the new keyframes. The free transform tool will turn into a curved arrow when it is ready to rotate. A straight arrow will resize the shape. Shift click keyframes after a cycle is completed to select all the frames. Choose Edit > Copy Frames. Then click on the frame just past the first cycle. Edit > Paste Frames. ExampleFlash
