In fact, the properties are being called SpeechView and BlinkView.

*slaps forehead* Duh.  Now it would be great if there were a SpeechLoop property, so characters could be kept neatly in one view.

Of course, I just found folders in the Views tree, so never mind that.  

So this isn't a bug then? I guess it's the fact that the dialog has the loop and frame selectors in it threw me off... Now that I look at it, that area does say "Preview" the view...

Bleh, okay. Thank you both for clearing that up.

Hi, I'm having some trouble with the "View" properties in the character property list. I'm trying to set a SpeechView and a BlinkingView. Yes, I'm using Sierra-style text.

My problem is this: I have all of the animation loops I want to use in one View. The speech animation I want is loop 8 in the View, and the blinking animation (frame, actually) is loop 9. When I set this in the dialog from the properties list, nothing changes. It always assumes that I want to use loop 0, and when I go back into that dialog, it is indeed set to loop 0. Shouldn't that property keep the View, loop, and frame? If it does, why isn't it for me? It seems to only keep the View number...

The IdleView property is the same.

I figure I can work around this by making a view for the walking, a view for the speech, a view for my one blink frame, and a view for idle, but I really don't want to do this for every character!

Note: I'm new, so I wasn't sure if I should post this here or in the technical forums.
