For a move such as a Crossbody, where should the string be placed? Say A was doing it to B. One around A's neck and legs and one around B's neck and legs

Thank you for the responses everyone, but next time I'll begin doing first come, first serve karma so the first accurate response will get +1 or +2 depending on the quality of the question. Giving out karma to multiple people doesn't work very well. But for now, +1 for all!
Edit: So far I've been able to approach the method of two string for one figure for aerial moves however if I wanted to create something a little bit more difficult or something a bit more technical requiring the usage of the canvas, floor etc throughout the entire animation how do I begin with keeping two figures in the air at the same time? For moves such as Canadian Destroyers, Tombstone's, F5's or anything that can make any animation flow well that can use a minor jump or just in general? Keep in mind that I use looped string or LKS's string technique when making animations.

for the Tombstone: take one long piece of string and tie the ends together. Put it around the chest (under the armpits) of the attacker. Then take the string in half and put it around the feet of the victim. Now you can control both figures with one string. You just take your figures and move them downwards with each pic. I'm not sure if you get what I was trying to say but whatever, I hope it helps

I tried your directions although it's not exactly building up to the point where I can control both figures but rather just one which is the figure that is receiving the tombstone to say the least. Does this method work with looped string any chance? Regardless +1 I appreciate it.

For crossbody, Ab joint and feet for executer and Under arm pits and feet for victim. For tombstone, Under arm pits with feet from behind and feet on victim.

Just tie the ends together and you should have a big loop, take this loop in half and you should have 2 loops.

Thank you Josh, I'll try the crossbody sometime this week if possible. +1 Thank you for the assistance YMH.

Just tie the ends together and you should have a big loop, take this loop in half and you should have 2 loops. I'm still not certain if I'm able to fully comprehend what you have here. So, I must tape the ends of the same loop there by creating a second loop? I apologize for all the inconvenience, I'm more of on the baseline of referring to references.

I apologize for all the inconvenience, I'm more of on the baseline of referring to references. I'm going to try and make a drawing for you: You take a long piece of string _____________ You tie the ends together so you have one loop. 0 Now you put that loop under the armpits of the attacker. You take the string in half (over the head of the attacker), it should look like this: 8. Now you put that second loop (that you created with only one string) around the feet of the victim. I'm sorry that I can't explain better :/

I appreciate the help regardless.

^ it worked for me when I did my Tombstone. What I forgot to say was that this only works for the way down but not for the set up and the upside down turning

Any tips for editing very fast? I will give karma It's actually really hard to edit fast and well with flash but here's a tut for both Photofiltre & Photoshop : That's the way I do it. Clone stamp. You can also smudge but doesn't always turn out neat. Please +1 if it ever helps PS : Kyle, I +1'd instead

I edit quickly by just putting a layer without string under the layer with string and cutting around the figure so the string doesn't show. Only problem is a lot of my animations have really bad shadows because of it

Yep that's also a technique but impossible to do with shadows or flash cause the pasted part will be different from the the entire pic...
