animations

Hi Ken,

Well I suppose I could use SnapZPro X. and make a quick time movie and 
put a player in the group.  This could work but I have a feeling that 
the overhead would be significant. Besides the animation manager is 
very cool and simple to use for animating Rev Objects.  My guess is 
that the resulting animation is relatively small as well.  In addition, 
I wouldn't have to fiddle around with data folders, relative path 
scripting etc using the animation manager.

Having the ability to use this tool within a group means that I can 
have multiple uses for a card's screen real estate. Placing  the 
animation in a group allows me to show and hide it at will. I am 
already doing this using the move command on group components.  The 
results are nice but no where as sophisticated as they would be using 
the animation manager.

Regards,

Steve
