Animation API issues

[kraftman]

I've having some trouble with the animation API, in that the children of the frame I'm animating aren't animating.

I'm not sure if i'm supposed to define somewhere that they should also animate?

Here's a quick video to show my problem:

As you can see, the frame fades out, but the buttons don't, even though they are parented to that frame.

Thanks for any help.

I'm fairly certain animation groups are only applied to the frame they are created against and are not applied to child frames. I believe the animation system works independently of Lua on individual frames, so it has no notion of things like hierarchy and anchoring. You can test this by moving the frame via a translation animation object. The buttons shouldn't move. Basically Lua points and relationships are not evaluated by the animation system.
