CGTalk - animation playback

hi, does anyone know how i can check if max is currently in playback mode? i have a script that changes the animationrange, but these changes only work correctly if max is not in playback mode (the trackbar isn't refreshed properly while playing), so i need to stop playback first, make the changes and then start it again... i already tried the trackbar.refresh(), but it has no effect..
anyone has an idea?

thanks!

Hi,

You can go to the first frame of the animation and stop there with "max time start". Store the original timeline value and restore it after you executed the rest of the script.

Don't know if it works for you, or if there are any other possible solutions but it should work
so long...

hmm.. thx, but not exactly what i wanted... reduced to the main problem: i just want to change the animation range while max is playing back an animation.. sounds pretty simple, but i havent found a way to do it yet...
