Strange error while key animation

[Thunderfox]

Hello
Today I found this engine for Android. It seems to be really usefull and I want to use it for a little game.

But while I testing the key animation function, I got strange results:
There are two 3ds files, which I load in an animation object. When I use the Object3D.animate(index, seq); function on the object, the object is animate only from first object to second. I cannot go back by reducing index from 1 to 0 over the time.
Later I note that the animation is played also when I used a static value for index. If index is 0.0001f, the animation is very slow and when it's higher, the animation is also faster.

I used this code but I don't think that there is an error:

Could be an error in the Object.animate(index,seq); function?

[EgonOlsen]

That's because you are using the same mesh as keyframe and the objects base mesh resulting in making the animation modify it's own keyframes, which isn't a good idea. Try to add the .cloneMesh(true); behind each getMesh() and see if that helps.

Thank You, works perfect

I'll add a check to the next version that should help to auto-fix this issue at runtime.
