Hi, can anyone tell me how to animate multiple copies of the same character. I copy and pasted the same charcater 5 times, and anchored and parented each. Now I just need them all to dance at the same time. Any help is greatly welcomed and appreaciated, I'm a bit new to this.

if you go to the character's timeline and animate there, all the instances will display that animation.

if you want the character's timeline animation to not start immediately, add this.stop() to its first frame and then apply this.play() to each instance when desired.

Hi, kglad thank you so much for your response! Okay, so I pasted eacy copy to the timeline ( made sure to parent them exatcly the same), but when I hit play all my copies disappear and I'm only left with my original charcater. I am really not sure what I'm doing wrong, here. If you could spare a bit more of your time it'd be greatly appreacited. Thanks again.
