Ive already asked this but my autocorrect messed up everything so im asking again.

im animating an animation with characters but i need to know if theres a way to link objects like in toonboom with pegs.

its just so time consuming to move the mouths after the characters when i tween their bodies.

also i dont want to put the mouths into the symbols containing the bodies because then i cant hear the audio and therefor cant lipsync.

please ,is there an easier way to do this???

Animate CC 19.0 allows you to setup Layer Parenting where layers can be arranged in parent-child hierarchy. With this, any movements, rotation or transforms applied to the parent objects are also transferred onto the children.

You would also want to consider "nesting" assets. I know you said you don't like that because you can't hear audio - but I do this all the time for years. Just bring your audio into each nested timeline to hear it.
