Er OK - found this in the Docs - I must say that it is going to take me hours
to wade through the extensive area in the Docs on this (NOT) - er....any chance
that you could drop me a code snippet as to how to use it, I have managed to
get a MI output to render with, but this is a little vague!!???
Thanks for your help!

You can record the animation data and then play it back in Behavior. Look
into the motion.StartCapture(), motion.StartPlayback() functions.

Subject: How to do Multiple passes with Behaviour
Hi All,
Don't know if there is a Behaviour List somewhere - anyone??
Anyway - I am trying ot do something pretty simple, create a curve preset
crowd - render it in 2 passes, BUT I am using the random scaling tool in the
populate panel to scale my characters - works great for the 1 pass, until it
finshes simulating, then the characters in the XSI viewer/world file pop to
their normal scale - all of them - now this kinda makes it difficult to redo
the sim for the shadow pass render setup?? AS if I now repopulate to get the
random scaling, it becomes random - and the shadows don't match the previous
pass! Anyone know how to get round this, and also how you can easily randomly
scale characters after painting them into the XSi viewer, as this poulate tool
does not have any randon scaling capabilitites!!
Thanks
Sandy
