Animating specific parts, ignoring all others

Good morning animators,

I'm using Poser 7. I'm wondering how I can make an animation so that it only affects specific body parts once uploaded into second life. For example, I only want the arms, torso and head affected; not the legs. When I play with the parts I want animated then upload, it also animates the legs in the default position and it bugs me. It's a 21 framed animation. Help is greatly appreciated!

In-game instant messages or replies to this thread both work.

Have you moved the legs at all from frame 1? To be absolutely sure, open the Animation Palette and delete all keyframes on the legs on any frame other than the first frame. Also, do you have IK on the legs and have you moved the hips? If you have IK on and move the hips, that'll animate the legs automatically.
