Hi,
I'm going through the tutorials and it seems there is more to A:M than what is in the book. Is there a manual online or on the CD that I am missing?

Lori,
There certainly is a whole lot more to A:M than what the manual covers.
You can find some of the information on your A:M CD.
Look for the Technical Reference.
You can find these online too: http://www.hash.com/htmlHelp/
Then there are the undocumented features.
Some of these features have some documentation. (but they are 'mostly' undocumented)
Many of the newest features have a Tech Talk devoted to them.
You can find some of these pinned here in the Tutorials Forum.
The *best* place to find Tech Talks is in the 'Latest Info' forum area but they are also listed here in the Tutorials forum: Tech Talk Links
Matthew Bradbury's A:M Features wiki is a great resource.
Then there are the website pages devoted to Sweeper, Treeez and Newton Physics.
You can find links to these here: A:M Features.
Some other 'features' are discovered by the user and only they know how to implement them.
They are usually discovered through experimentation.
Is there any particular area you are interested in?

Thanks for the links.
I was trying to edit in the time line those squares in project workspace. I got undesirable effects at the beginning (model neutral position jumped facing backwards at 0) when I was spacing time inbetween my choreography.

Hey Lori; I felt the same way! Your right there should be a better source that explains A:M.. Luckly I found "Animation:Master a Complete Guide" published this year for V13 by David Rogers. I special ordered this from Barns & Nobel in May, but the release date kept being pushed back. This week I noticed that this book is now in stock on the shelves in the Flash and multimedia books in the computer section.
This is the best one source step by step lesson and tutorial CD which contains all figures in color and sample models to learn and explor with the power of A:M.
Hows about 500+ pages of info?, Check it out; its worth every cent..
