i agree with ahmidou. I avoid SCOPS like the plague, usually i can do it with pure ICE.
if for some reason it cant be done with ICE then I insist that people here use jscript. Otherwise your animators are paying a big price speed wise. Truthfully though, since ICE came out, i've been able to avoid using SCOPS 100%. I consider it obsolete tech now.
