Both Bone tool and tweening tool, the nodes seem to move on their own with every set position.

it has ruined an entire animation i was working on, by setting the node so far away the first frame now has pieces of my character everywhere.

Object Bones. not Free bones.

    Well, it's most likely a bug. The Bone tool has had some bugginess to it and it's almost impossible to reproduce and pinpoint the cause. I'm sorry this is happening. I know how frustrating it can be. There's a lot about the Bone tool I wish would improve and the engineering team is actively making as many improvements as possible.

    Side note, there's a really cool program called Moho that has an amazing Bone tool if that's the tool you deem necessary for your project.

    Understood. Well unfortunately the Bone tool isn't perfect in Animate. I wish it was more reliable personally and I have high hopes it will be someday. There's nothing wrong with how you built your armature. The drifting is simply something that needsto be fixed.

    they do it on their own over time, when your animating. as i shown in the first animated picture.

    theres nothing out of the ordinary about either files.

    Got it. Took a look but I don't see how your're having issues. Can you explain in detail how you expect the armature to move and the actual results and why/how they differ? Sorry for all the back n forth - I honestly don't see what's wrong based on the FLA you sent.

    no its not how it moves, it tweens and moves fine, but the Bones snap to different locations. here:notice how the bones move off the actuall image?

    I hear "plague" and run straight at it

    I'm not 100% on what is causing it. Might need the source file to see how it was built. Is it possible to provide it?

    it happens with All new Documents, just Set up a skeleton and move them. the nodes will move by themselves.

    I'm trying to reproduce the moving you describe and can not.

    This is very little information to go by. Can you post providing a step by step procedure of what you are doing, and what happens in the end?

    the nodes move on their own, and eventually end up screwing with the entire animation
