    More recent versions of CH added a replay feature. You can record something with a dragger etc, then turn that into a replay and add it to the puppet. The trigger can then fire off that replay. You can record as little or as much in the replay. Eg drwgger for one hand, or full face expression etc too. Playing the replay just repeats whatever was included in the replay,

    If you have a touch screen, i think you can do both at once. Otherwise record a first arm, rewind the play head, and record the second arm. This will hide the first recording, but it will be there.

    If you need to see the first arm while recording the second arm, then add a second dragger behavior to the puppet then use one behavior to record the first arm and the second behavior to record the second arm. Just enable one behavior at a time, (You can rename behaviors if you want to - e.g. you could have a default dragging behavior, a Left Arm Dragger, and s RIgh Arm Dragger. The just arm the right dragger at the right time. (I rarely go this far myself... I just add a second behavior and only use it when i need to see my normal drags in the first dragger.)
