Keith: I am trying to set up a show of DPaintIV anims. To play smoothly the animator loads DPaintIV, selects ANIM/METHOD/EXPANDED from the ANIM menu, loads the anim and plays it. Playing from the Director2, using the script on p.7-8, results in a jerky motion, just like playback in DPaint without "EXPANDED" being selected. Is there any way I can get the Director to play back these anims smoothly as in DPaintIV's "EXPANDED" mode? I'd like to be able to load five or six of these looping anims into memory and play them one after the other for several minutes. That is, load one looping anim (which loops every 2-4 seconds) and let it play for, say ten minutes, then play the next one for ten minutes, etc. Can you point me in the right direction? I'd still like to know the script info, even if you can't help me with the smooth playback question. Thanks Keith. Best, George Roland
