Your welcome :) I think this issue was bugging me almost as much as it was bugging you! My bedroom has cloths and computer parts laying all over the floor, but I hate to see an unsolved problem laying around. As to the how and why, I'm not sure of the details yet, but it seems to be something to do with the with the figure and actor numbers. Saving the figure from an otherwise empty scene reset those to "1". Some quick experiments sugest that this is is a general problem with figuires in P4, not just one that relates to Koroko. I find it strange that I have not heard of this problem before, or come acrss it in my own work. Well now I'm off on a quest to find a solution that does not involve resaving the figure, and to save more damsels from the clutches of the crosstalk dragons. Farewell for now sweet maden! P.S. If I can figure out the why and how, I'll let you know.
