There is basic animation support in OpenSG 2.x already, basically in a more general form as there is a way to to describe a data flow graph and the elements for it to do animations. The only difference is, there is no grouping. So why do we need another system instead of integrating or improving what is already there ? If you need the 'Manager' controls outside CSM (where they currently are) it seems better to actually take them out from there back into OpenSG and have CSM make use of them instead of putting another set in. I really would like to see only one instance in there. kind regards, gerrit ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
