I really like the concept of creating styles that can be defined and then applied to characters. However, I ran into a problem with using them and keyframes. I didn't realize that the styles themselves are keyed if you change the Fill Color say at frame 100. So if you apply them to a character in frame 0 then run your animation, you will see a fill color tween on the character. BTW - I'm not sayng that I think this is a bad thing because I can see the advantage of tweening styles.

The problem was I couldn't find where in the Timeline window the key frames were for the style tween. Does anyone know how this can be found?

...Yeah! Animatable features in an animation program always is like a GREAT thing ...Well, and remember that you must select your keyframed style in Styles Window --> Styles PopUp Menu to can see the keyframes of that specific style, BYE!

Thanks Ramon. I don't know how I missed that I had to choose the particular style in the Style window to see the keyframe.
Actually, I have used other products where you couldn't tween style attributes within the same style but you could tween between 2 styles (apply one style say with a blue fill color called "sky blue" and then apply another style with a black fill color called "night sky" to an object).

Yes, and that is specially useful to get complex shape effects and other mixing advantages, ahhh... styles are SO great!

Great tip, Ramón! I didn't realise you could animate styles - perfect for e.g. changing the skin colour to red to indicate anger or heat.

Thanks!
