Thanks for your help man, but I'm pretty sure now that you can't set a parent for just a hand,

what I want to do is,, have a guy hanging another guy off a building by his ankles. so I want figure A to have his right hand on figure B's left ankle and vice versa for the other hand and ankle.  so when I move the arms individually, it will move the legs its attached to. ya know?

so if he shakes his arm, the shake translates to the leg. I hope ya know what I mean, lol
