Animated stick man

I want to make a stick man climb a ladder with the arms and legs to moving.

I know I could just make a set of images and load them into an image control one at a time but I don't want to do that.

My first thought is to use 5 lines and a shape (style= circle)

Has anyone got any code for moving this sort of thing?

Is there a better way of doing mathematical driven animation?

Thank you

If you think about, it's easier to to in Flash than in VB.

Yeah but the challange would be fun. Go ahead, defy flash, do it in VB!! :D
