I'm experimenting with .SetKeyFrame and I'm having trouble getting it to work.

Specifically I'm trying to set two keyframes for different X axis coordinates. So far I've gotten this:

Dim MoveGroup as xpBaseObject

Self.GetObjectByName("MOVE GROUP", MoveGroup)

MoveGroup.SetKeyFrame(0, ******)

MoveGoup.SetKeyFrame(30, *******)

I tried using the help doc to figure this out, but I'm not sure what to put in the ****** areas. I know that I need to tell it which key channel to define (X Position's value = 1) and then I need to give the X axis a value, but I can't get it right. Anyone know what I'm missing and/or doing wrong? Thanks in advance!

BTW I'm working on Xpressions 5.5

You need to retrieve the animation controller object and set the keyframes inside of it rather than trying to set keyframes directly to a base object. See the thread from just a day or two ago when I posted some sample code for WDAY.

Here is a more complete example (driven by datalinq).. This scene dynamically builds keyframes in an animation controller to move names in a scoreboard list into a sorted order. It's a bit complicated but you should be able to pull out the functions you need to call to set keyframes from it..

The script is in the OnRender script of this scene.

This sample was written before it was possible to put a script directly on the scene director, that's why it is in the OnRender. It would be better to put this on the scene director instead..

Did you figure it out Kevin?
