Been working on scripts for a few projects now. Each time I have run into the same problem. When I make a change to the script the only way I can test it is if I save the project and reopen it. Otherwise regardless of what I do, Xpression seems to always use the script prior to the changes I made. This ...

Is there any way to create line and pie charts within Xpression? Bar charts I can do with a little scripting magic, just not sure how to make line or pie charts work.

Something that has worked well for me is using the visibility option in template links. Make your standard background constant and furthest back. Then create other backgrounds in front of that one with the visibility off in your scene but checked in template links. #Carbonite

Can there be more then one play range? For example I might need to have it pause at frame 400, then again at frame 600, then a third time at frame 800. The director who is using Overdrive will also need to be able to continue the animation. Is that possible with play range? #XPression
