Crank and Piston Box2D Flash Physics Simulation: Create Revolute Joint between Shaft and Piston
In previous Box2D tutorial, a Revolute Joint has been created between the World and Crank and a Revolute Joint also connect the Crank and the Shaft. In this tutorial, we use Revolute Joint to connect the the Shaft and the Piston.

STEP 5: Create a Revolute Joint for the Shaft and Piston
Everything goes on very well, hopes that you can also follow very well. Let's recall what we have done with the joints before:
- Create revolute joint between the World and the Crank.
- Create revolute joint between the Crank and the Shaft.
Now we also use a Revolute Joint to join the Shaft and the Piston together and see the effect. At this stage, all bodies (Crank, Shaft and Piston) are all joined to-gether. We need to do one thing. We need to limit the motion of the Piston. Please read the next example.
