Moving items in key frame is messing up the postion of the same item in all other key frames

Question

Hello

I'm hoping to find a solution to this problem that I am facing. I am using Adobe Animate to create a frame-by-frame animation of a hand-drawn puppet that I have imported into the animation. I am animating it in a very old-school way, making slight changes to each of the limbs in each key frame. However, I'm finding that when I insert key frame and make alterations to the puppet's limbs, the position of those same limbs gets messed up in all other key frames. It is almost as if they are all connected to one another.

Is there any way to 'sever' this connection?

Many thanks

do you have onion skinning enabled?Hello,   Thank you for your reply. Yes, I do, but that just creates the usual green/red shadow; switching it on or off has no bearing on the problem. However, I think I may have just worked out what the problem is: the separate components of the puppet were all grouped together in some way. I wasn't able to satisfactorily sepearate them. However, when I copied and pasted each of the elements again into Animate and repeated the process, the problem was resolved. So it appears to have been an issue with the seperate components being grouped together when I copied them across from another animation file.

there is no connection between/among frames unless there's tweening.  you might "see" what appears to be a connection if you're using onion skinning.
