Finding AnimationController status when no animations

[SteveG]

When I use LoadHierarchyFromFile() to load an X file that contains no animation data, the resulting AnimationRootFrame still contains a valid reference to an AnimationController, but I can't find any way of discovering that there are no anims in it (and so I shouldn't try to animate it) without generating a null reference exception. All the properties and methods cause an exception.

 

Anyone come across a solution to this?

Ta.

This is a known bug in MDX that will probably be solved for the next SDK update. Use the following workaround for the time being:

 

Try
   mAnimationController.ResetTime()
Catch
   mAnimationController = Nothing
End Try

Ah! Brilliant! I never thought of that. Thanks very much.
