Putting animations in objects....

I have an idea for an animated object ... and I have the animation but not sure how to use it in a prim......do I need a script of some sort? It's a dance....and without giving away my creation.....I need to set the dance in a platform of sorts. I can make my object easily enough.....just don't know how to make the animation work properly. ????

Yes Milla, you need a script, and there are many in the scripting library section of the forums you can use for a single animation (search "poseball".

If you want multiple animations, like in pole or table dance objects, maybe you'll have to modify one to allow the user to change animations?

You don't actually need use use a poseball, you just need a poseball script, the entire object can be the "poseball"... Oh, but you'll have to change it to not make the prim dissappear like poseballs normally do!

Great....thank you! I sort of knew what I needed to do.... just not the right resources to get what I need. You definitely answered my question.
