How to key a scale change in the Parent Graphic Symbol without affecting size/shape of children

[default25272109gxtw3a]

Hi,

I'm trying to add a bit of squash and stretch to a Charcter Walk animation. However, I cannot key a transform in the body, without distorting the limbs/head.

I tried scaling inside the symbol, however, this changes the scale of the body across all my keys.

Found this video with solution. Problem solved

...turn off 'Propogate scale, skew and flip' under the parenting symbol in the timeline.
