That stinks. Because your last entry isn't real specific, may I ask if you can at least "PlayObject" for the whole animation?
HAve you had any luck with that? (Just curious... I realize how lame it is if you can't animate objects from this frame to that - .. makes it kida hard to make character with many animations do all they have the potential to do.. like walk, get hit, fall down, jump etC)
If Play Object at least works - I guess (not great but..) you could load multiple objects (same character) with the various animations and make it look right - but this is terrible for resources and a coding nightmare.
UGH.
