Which version of Moho are you guys using? If you're using Moho 13, I suggest contacting Lost Marble and requesting a Moho 12.5 license (if you don't already have one.) I haven't seen those errors but I had seen other Action- and script-related errors with Moho 13. After I switched back to Moho 12.5,...

Thanks for the comments, guys, and that's a good question SimplSam. I like Vimeo because it's flexible about letting me replace my videos with improved edits while keeping my stats and links. (Like I did last night with the three Explains videos. As a matter of fact, I'll need to do that again after...

In case anybody is wondering, we're re-branding this video series. Little Green Dog Explains is the new name, and, yes, brand new videos are in the works! So what's coming? Our next few videos will cover topics to help beginning Moho Pro and Debut users get started, and then we'll get into the 'off-...

@Strider2000, I'll be sure to check out your videos. TBH, the scripting I've done is few and far between, so any refresher is helpful. Thanks for the other advice too!

You're right, I currently have 5.4.2 installed, and will make sure I'm using the 5.2 and matching reference before I go any deeper. (I should know better; ran into the same situation when taking a Python class at work.)

Thanks! I had actually purchased the PDF copy of the current edition earlier in the day. Glad to hear I'm on the right track. Will take the time to explore your suggestions today.

@Synthsin75, you're right! I misremembered the keys and was too tired (or lazy) to launch Moho to check...my bad. I meant the keys with Moho's default behavior.

I'll correct my original post.

@Sang, Ha, ha...I totally understand! Some days I spend so much time troubleshooting, I'm lucky if I can get to the fun parts of my job. Such is work.

Update: A correction was made to the shortcut described below. Thanks to Synthsin75 for catching that. Here's another tip: If you're going to manually animate the layer order, there are a few tricks for quickly selecting the body parts in the Layers Window. 1. Alt+Shift and Right Click on a limb in...

Thanks for the tips guys! This is all very helpful. if you're already familiar with block-structured languages then you shouldn't have any real problems with LUA. At work I've done some scripting for After Effects using ActionScript (an extension of JavaScript,) and dabbled a little with Python and ...

So, is mohoscripting.com the most complete reference guide currently available? Just wondering since it's labeled 'unofficial'. Now that it appears Moho will continue to exist and thrive, I'm making a new effort to learn Moho LUA. Right now, I'm just tinkering with existing scripts, trying to unders...

As described in that other thread, use Animated Layer Order. This is easier when you've grouped your parts logically (ArmL, ArmR, Torso, etc.) Color coding the groups also helps (i.e., red for right side limbs, green for left side limbs, etc.) Sometimes I'll set up a Smart Bone Action (SBA) to manag...

And at this point, I think some of us are trying to think of small, easy to implement improvements for the immediate future. And I agree with Wes. For me, Moho can be greatly improved with a few 'small' fixes and feature enhancements I've described elsewhere. ('small' is in quotes because I don't r...

Ha ha! That's so awesome Sang! Glad to see Dragon Matrix is still being developed and used.

A small update for I wrote in the post above 4 years ago... I still use Use Selected Bones For Flexi-binding for much of a character's body, but I'm also using Point Binding now to lock down specific regions of these layers (typically in joint regions.) It's not unusual for me to use both methods fo...
