IIRC, cross talk affects anything with full body morphs where they share the same internal name. If you have a "muscular" morph for Stephanie, Mike 1, or Beefybullwinkle, and they all share the same internal names, then the fbms would talk to each other. Poser 5 eliminates cross talk. The advantage is that you don't have to deal with loading null figures before each character comes into a scene. The disadvantage is that DAZ has made use of cross talk to get all the clothes to fit on the morph injected figures of Vicky 3 and most likely Michael 3. Carolly
