Dear Hash or anybody I'm trying to do an animation of two dancing figures. I used the figure substitution procedure in the A.M. manual, that is, replacing a couple of dummy "Ghosts" with my chosen figures by editing the .fig file. Everything worked great, the new two-character Figure loaded in Action and I was able to create the first frame of the dance. I saved the 1-frame skeletal file and went to Direction to see what it looked like. The Figure loaded into direction OK but I got "File Ineligible" when I tried to load the skeletal file from the Action menu in Direction. Any ideas? I suspect it's something to do with where the .ske files are saved. It's driving me crazy!
