i was recently under the impression that Steve had added the ability to animate an element's parentage. but i can't find any controls to do so (as of build 1402), and i now suspect i was getting mixed up with the new feature where a figure bone can be set as an element's parent.
so: just to confirm, parentage can't be animated at present right?

Are you talking about this?

Or the target?

You can make the parent a bone of a figure but you can't animate it. However using multiple objects you can show/hide them to make it appear that the parent changes. See this topic https://www.anim8or.com/smf/index.php/topic,6076.0.html (https://www.anim8or.com/smf/index.php/topic,6076.0.html) for an example of a
picture pitcher throwing a ball, and for more details on how it works.

the method Steve describes is the one i've been using. just wanted to make sure there wasn't a more efficient method available which i'm missing. thanks for confirming =]
