Thanks for reviewing my script Pure Morning. Funny that you should point out the SCcontrols. Although I did change that to SkeletonControls, and resaved the mel script, when I go to source the script, I get nothing. I am sure that it is in the script path, i.e., placed in the 4.5 script folder, but my feedback still notes problems with the column layout. I get nothing. no window appears and the only return is an error message at that point. I even tried dumbing down the script and nothing appears. When you ran the script, clearly nothing would happen since the flags referencing mover/solvers would not be active in your scene. In effect, what I am hoping for is a mel script that will make sliders for animating a biped. Can you help in that regard? I am working out of a school that doesn't actually offer Maya classes and I am left to my own resources, so to speak. Needless to say, your help is most welcome. ps, I am friends with Heinrich who also posts here. Thanks again!
