Animating Static Objects

Hey

I have created an object in max and made an animation for it. I followed the Max2DTS exporter docs to make sure my model was correct and setup right to export the animation along with the model.

I tested my model in the model viewer and it animates perfectly but when in the game it doesn't. I followed the tutorial found at
www.garagegames.com/index.php?sec=mg&mod=resource&page=view&qid=1522

but i still can't seem to get it to work. This was my script that i ended up creating for it.

datablock StaticShapeData(Blades)
{
// The category variable determins where the item
// shows up in the mission editor's creator tree.
// (this is misspelled in v1.0, v1.1 or higher should
// use the correct spelling "category")
category = "Misc";
shapeFile = "./blades.dts";
};

function Blades::onAdd(%this,%obj)
{
// %obj is the object being added to the world
// with %this datablock. Start up a thread on the
// new object. Since the wave sequence is cyclic
// this animation will run continously.
%obj.playThread(0,"Spin");
}

function StaticShapeData::create(%block)
{
// The mission editor invokes this method when it
// wants to create an object of the given datablock
// type. You only need one of these methods for any
// class/datablock type (in this case StaticShape).
%obj = new StaticShape()
{
dataBlock = %block;
};
return(%obj);
}


Any help would be great thanks
