Demo Stack can't find Anim. Eng.?

Post by Mistfall » Mon Nov 23, 2009 12:29 am

Hello,

I had AE 2.9 with version 3.0 of RevMedia, and moved it to my new RevMedia 4.0 folder. When I try to open the AE demo stack by typing: "start using stack "animationEngine" in the Message box, I get an error message in the Message box (Chunk: Can't find stack) and a message from the demo stack saying "Sorry, this stack needs Animation Engine 2.9 or higher to run".

I have AE in the same folder as Revolution Media 4.0; is there a sub-folder somewhere that it needs to be in?

Thank you for any assistance!

Hi Mistfall,

just make sure it is open in memory. So either you need to open it in the IDE, make it a substack of your stack, or execute some script to open it:

open invisible stack "path/to/animationengine.rev"

Hope that helps,

Malte

Thank you! Making sure I opened the AE stack before attempting to open the demo seems to be the key step I was missing!
