I need to have a hamster pop out from beneath a character's beard. How would I rig that? Everything I tried does not work.

As a quick thought:
I would set the hamster opacity to 0, and as he pops out of the beard ramp the opacity up to 100%
At the same time, I would reduce the hamsters size at the beginning and ramp up to full size during "popping" out of the beard.
If the whole hamster is to appear on top of the beard then thats fine.
If you only want a part of the hamster to show (i.e. the top half), then you must make the bottom half of the hamster invisible by deleting the bottom sprites or changing them to none.
