[operative x]

i really dont have any idea what he is talking about here when the guy says:
"Once you are in the Bones menu click pick root and click on the hip box. "

If you happen to figure it out, please draw in red over my screen shot to help me out, im more of a visual learner

i'd help, but i only know how to work with biped

but as far as i can tell, you need to click the top box (the hip bone) thats whats he's saying,
by clicking the top box, the "start" of the leg, you select the whole leg to be attached to the mesh,
this to bound the bones to the mesh. (imHo)
with biped its simular, but there you need to double click to select the whole biped

i cant find the box your talking about is it below the "Bones" button i pressed in the object type menu?

I guess it's the top box in the picture below?
you need to click that.. I could be wrong, like i said, i dunno..
maybe try posting it in the animations forum on CGtalk? www.cgtalk.com
