Layers and bones?

Every time I go into my skeleton layer tab, below it is head, body, etc. Every time I click on one of these, my guy goes from being all attatched with bones, to all seperated. His arms, legs, and head are seperated from his torso, like when I added the bones, and it's really crippling my animation ability. This also happens when I click translate layer, etc. How do I fix this?

Did you use bone offset on frame 0? If so when you are on frame 0 and use the normal tools the bone set up will be in the "non offset" view. The "exploded" view. If you are on any frame OTHER than frame 0 then the tools will NOT display the exploded view. You can only animate on frames past 0 anyway.

Now if you mistakenly moved bones around on other frames you may be seeing those key frames effecting the animation. Without more info it's hard to say what's going on.

Ohhh. Thanks! I guess they only do that in Frame 0. When I go to the first frame, he's all put together.
