Sam, To morph from object 1 in frame 10 to object 2 in frame 45, follow these steps: In Action, set the "Max. # frames" box at the top left to the number of frames you want in your animation; I often use 999 just to be on the safe side. (It seems like I always lengthen an animation midway through its creation) In Stage, go to frame 10. Load object 1 and position it. Go to Action. Notice how object 1's Actor bar stretches from frame 10 to 999, or whatever. With the Info button depressed, click on the action bar and change its frames to "from: 10" and "to: 10". Click on the Add button, then click once on that same (empty) Actor bar in frame 11, and frame 45. Select object 2, and enter 34 as the transition frame count. Why 34? Because 45 – 11 = 34. It's that simple. You've just told Imagine to morph from object 1 in frame 10 to object 2 in frame 45. The orange part of the Actor bar shows the transition count; you could change object 2's "to:" setting to frame 100; the orange bar would still stretch from frame 11 to 44, since you _haven't_ changed the transition frame count. Blaq!
