not cloned,

1. I extracted the anim file "o-snowManHat-ayiy-ayiy_anim" from the hat package (I got 2 files on my HD : animation.simpe & animation.simpe.xml)

2. I created a new animation with the Miche's Animation Editor and I changed the name to "o-snowManHat-ayiy-ayiz_anim". I save the file to "animation.simpe"

3. I add the new file in the chair package by clicking on Add then choose the file animation.simpe.xml

4. I change (in the Animation Plugin Wndow) the Misc/Name (originally snowmanhat) to chairdining.



I did the same operation (without step 4) to add a new interaction to the snowmanhat object and it worked so I don't think the probleme is here but probably with the BHAV (but I'm not sure).
