Hi. I have created a character from a drawing and now when i move my head the right arm follows the body movement while the left one stays put. I have hopefully added my files to the drop down below i cant really see whats in there

No attachments came through sorry. You can paste screenshots directly into the text panel, but big attachments really need to be put in DropBox/Google drive etc and share a link here.
Are the arms independent? My guess is one is not attached to the body correctly at the shoulder. If the origin handle of the arm is not green (indicating attachment) the arm will not move with the body. A screenshot of the rigging hierarchy can also help spot common little mistakes.

I tried uploading it to dropbox but they down allow for the kinds of files. I will see if there is something i can do about it. I have been comparing the two arms, but i can't seem to find any difference whatsoever. They are both independent, both have "weld" as attachment and both shoulders should overlap with the body. I will hopefully upload soon and provide a link.
Thanks

Even just screenshots posted into the text box here in the forums can help. On Windows i use "snipping tool", on mac I use I think control-command-4 which gives a cursor to draw out a rectangle on the screen. Then control-v (windows) or command-v (mac) when you have the cursor in the text box where you type here. You don't need to mess with the attachement stuff.

Next time you can reduce the size by only uploading the ".puppet" file - it has the complete puppet in it (you zipped up the whole project - which is fine, just bigger than needed).
A few suggestions / comments.
A suggestion that might help with a few problems, but it requires some minor artwork changes.
Filling in the arm...
Shoulder strap...
Layers
It *might* help.... and depending on how you want to move the arms, it might not!!! You need to think about where the arms are going to move (in front of or behind the body, and frankly it is finky.
All I can suggest is a few options and hopefully you find something you like... E.g. maybe just using hinge is good enough (the shoulder straps above might be more of a problem than it solves frankly).
I also tried putting a stick across the shoulders (from the top of one shoulder strap to the other). Both arms are then more consistent. (Maybe not "good", but "consistent"). I think the issue is one shoulder is wider than the other. Maybe a stick on one side only, or down the middle of the chest, might trigger the behavior you want.
