Hi Drew,

        If you want to morph over different amounts of time, just change
the length of the actor bar.  Let's say you have state 1 in frames 1-10
and you want to morph to state 2 in frames 11-50.  Just add an actor bar
for frames 1-10 with state 1, load (or copy/paste) state 2 in 11-50.  The
object will change in frames 11-50.  Now if you want the transition to
happen later and faster, just make state one go from 1-30 let's say, and
state 2 from 31-50.  This system is just as capable if not more flexible 
than typing in a number for transition frames.
