We have gotten an upward push from the leg - and the body is pulling us down.

body_acc_sum = BODY_ACC + leg_push * LEG_PUSH_ACC - (body_y / 100);
body_speed += body_acc_sum - body_speed * BODY_FR;
body_y += body_speed;
body._y = body_y;
leg_push = 0;

Do the rotation...

body_angle = body.rotation_mult;
i = 0;
while (i < body.NUM_PEGS)
{

The clip to manipulate

leg_name = "leg_" add i;

Rotate the leg pieces. Find upward thrust.

set (leg_name add ":body_angle", body_angle);
call (leg_name add ":rotate");

Test for ground hit.

   val_x = eval (leg_name add ":leg_x");
   #include "_scripts/GroundLookup.as"
   if (eval (leg_name add ":leg_y") > val_y)
   {
       set (leg_name add ":touch_ground", true);
       set (leg_name add ":ground_y", val_y);
   }
   else
   {
       set (leg_name add ":touch_ground", false);
   }

Render the leg pieces

call (leg_name add ":render");

Go to the next leg

   i++;
   body_angle += body.peg_angle_step;
   if (body_angle >= /:NUM_DEG) body_angle -= /:NUM_DEG;
}
