Animation trouble with scaled figure.

I can't remember who it was, but i was told to create a null node i believe and parrent the figure to the null so the animations would work correct when i scaled the figure down. I'm still getting some messed up animation using animblocks. Any clues?

ok, NM. I believe I figured it out. I was dragging the figure into the node. Doesn't work. I had to use the dialogue after right clicking on figure to "change parent." Thats seemed to work,
