Thank you 
LittleStain and 
kathleen, I just tried the pinning the sprite to another object and it works. However, I lost the up and down movement of the animation, I still have the wings moving but it doesnt move up and down.
Here is the .capx file https://www.dropbox.com/s/hq1qtaxv0gjgk ... .capx?dl=0
Also, what do you mean by "gravity events", would that be for setting a distinct gravity environments to the whole layout?
Again, thank you both and anyone else that jumps in. =)
