Ya, I know you guys are crazy busy with the flash 10 stuff right now (in addition to the usual stuff).
The loading the entire animation and then specifying the start and length values seemed to be the closest to a final solution, I may *try* to wrap my head around those classes and see if i can maybe find where the start value is being reset and extend it (anything i may figure out, i'll share of course). It's tantalizingly close... Thanks for the super quick response Rob.
