I start talk designr load wav file load vismap set start frame & end frame hit apply and the sound file loads from frame one I,ve tried every different orede and sequence still does the sane thing!! reset the prefernce files twice, am I doing something wrong?

U can try this if it would help. After loading your sound file and it falls in frame 1, you can go to the layers tab and re set the start and end frames there. You can then click the show graph display sign under the keyframea tab to display the graph of the .wav file.  Finally, you can drag the sound range bar at the bottom of the animation pallette to your required frame. As you do this, you should see the graph of the .wav file move from where it was to your new frame number.

Hope this helps. I only came up with this cos I a problem with talk designer right now and I got this only last week. I still have a question on at the the moment to which I have only one reply. If it does not work please let me know... Thanks

I have tried your sugestion without the graph and it works some of the time perhaps the graph will allow me to check before I tie up my machine with a useles render. thanks.at $250 a pop for this software you would think they would address this issue in a service release.I will let you know how it goes
