Thanks...
I made a figure from the sled and added several bones to the rope; then animated it normaly as you do with any figure... Many people forget that Figure Editor doesn't have to be used only for chraracters :)

I used it one time to make a book flip through pages.
And before I knew how to make fire I used it on a cone like objects for a candle frame.

I prefer to use that instead of morphs.

Oh right the animation.
I like it like everyone else does. Funny it is.

That's right.  I have used Figure Editor to make VTOL engines rotate, undercarriage raise & lower, wheels turn & steer, weapons platforms aim, etc.  Morphing is great if you need something to deform, like an extending hydraulic ram or collapsing building, but it can be tedious for simple manipulations.
