Thanks for the info about the tutorials and I am glad to hear new  
stuff will
be coming soon.

As far as the errors it is directly related to the stack Chipp said  
to download.
I can get AnimationEngine to run fine in the full mode without errors.

The problem is when I run Chipps demo stack it does not see I have the
full version even though I start up the full version and initiate it  
from the
message box as required.  A message says something like another stack
is in use and editing my cause errors.  Then everything I do in the demo
stack of Chipp's brings up script errors.  I do not know if it is  
because his
stack is outdated or if the problems are from his animatonEngine demo
he has in his stack since that for some reason supersedes my full  
version
of animatonEngine.  I am using a Mac OS X 10.4.11 with Enterprise 2.9.
