Blend shape sliders not working please help

hi i'm having a problem and I cannot figure out what it is, someone please help.
here is whats going on. i made blend shapes 6 so far, so at first I thought I did something wrong because 1 out of 6 sliders were working correctly.so I started over.i was getting the same problem.so I did them individual and they work correctly, but I would rather have
them all together so I could blend 2 or more shapes together.in the images you can see how the sliders have no affect on the mesh until I move the first(Sad) slider,the same goes for all of the other sliders as well.i always have to move the first slider to get an affect on the mesh. user added image

Which version of maya are you using? If you have an extension pack installed there is a blend shape bug with the extension release.


It is by my will alone I set my mind in motion
