To get past the limitation of a morph only working in a straight line, you can stack a series of morphs to move the zipper. This should be fairly easy to set up with Poser 8+ where you can use the dependency editor to link the morph succession to a master dial. The morph stack will perform like the key frames of an animation when the zipper dial is used.
