Rigging Issues

Hello out there, I need a hero.

 

I titled this "rigging" it's more like a bunch of  frigging issues with my diva puppet and I am at my witts end. I have a May 2nd deadline to submit my final piece of my animation series in order to qualify for a grant to learn After Effects in more depth., but my character just disappererd on me one day as soon as I was almost finished with him. puppet just up and left me last week and I moped for a bit and started over. He was the first puppet I made last year and he needed work anyway. Got him up and running and then silly me must have missed wacthing Dave;s video's because I decided to try the one of the last two things I had not tried (having the 2 heads); silly me... everything seemed to work, but there was a time dely where my character would disapper with the Head Turner behavior. It could also be that I didn't do the behavior correctly on the profiles, as I look back. Currently the thing that has me close to tears is the simplest thing and I can't figure it out, His arm is stuck to his body somehow and his whole body spins in a circle.  

 

I just don't have the strength, but I need and want to submit. 

 

Bless

 

I'm using Adobe Acrobat.
Here's the Kingston_New.puppet for you to view.

One problem I see in your rigging is that you need a folder similar to your left profile and right profile folders for your forward facing parts. I am guessing that the program is struggling to sort out what parts belong where. The Root layer should be just for the puppet name and all views should be sublayers of that. Perhaps the quickest fix would be to create a new root layer, call it "+Kingston" and re-name the current Kingston folder as "Front." The only cahnge I've made to the puppet is to change the "walk" behavior from "immediate" to left and right arrow keys.

Thanks for your reply. I had it that way and it kept disappearing with the head turner bejavior, so I removed it. I am quite confused right now. I want to stick with what I know, but I am afraid to make any changes with the head, sas I always have to re-rigg the hair. I think it is between the two ways of set up. Are you able to help me straightrn it out, or is that not allowed, or you maybe too busy? I do not know how to undo, what I tried to do and he has the two green dots on his neck still from me doing that, but I did remove the etxtra head(labeled body).

Actualluy I understood eerything you said and can fix it. I see why you didnt see the issues. I changed his arms last night, by the time you got this msg. I guess I will go back and follow Daves video and put that back and if there ia an issue, i'll be back.

Added +frontal, puppet disappears in between profiles. Does the system update the file you have or do I need to re-send.

You know what, on sceond thought I do not have time for this. I fought too hard this year and last to teach myself animation and created a series using Character Animator and was given an application for a grant for professional training and all I have to do to qualify is to make the deadline in eight day. I did not come this far to be let down from the very forum that should help me. This is my 3rd experience here and everytime I wish I hadn't come. Thanks anyway. This is WAY too slow. I'll start all over. 

Bless

The quickest thing was to switch the art with a working puppet.
