animations on a card

[Mark Schonewille]

Dear Preston,

It doesn't make sense to count the number of animations.

In the Arcade Engine, you could count the number of objects. 
Usually, objects are animated by attaching a script to them. You 
do this manually, using the script editor.

The Animation Builder does little more than remembering the 
position of each object for each "frame" of your animation. 
There is a series of locations for each animated object. It 
looks like you have a number of animations, but in fact it is 
just a number of objects that change location. The different 
locations are kept in custom properties starting with 
cREVAnimation. The custom properties are in the animated objects.

So, animations are related to objects and objects are on a 
particular card or in a group on a number of cards.

Perhaps I/we can provide better advice if you can explain why 
exactly you need this.

Best,

Mark

I think Arcade Engine stores them as custom properties of the object but I couldn't find the animations of revanimate.rev that way. Probably just my dumb mistake.
