I wish I knew that all those months ago....I knew it was something stupid I was doing.....Colour - I can't thank-you enough - I truly appreciate your time and genius......Thanks-you.

Thanks for taking the time...

ADDED - BTW

If your Character Performs ie; Walks on the spot but doesn't Move, when pressing the W Key in Director Mode, that's because your Character needs to be in a 3D Scene. Either a Template or a Scene you've created.

It's the Scene that Moves in Director Mode. Not the Character. Giving the impression that the Character is Moving, when it isn't.

Maybe that's what you've been doing wrong, all-along?

Looking at your Screenshot, these are my initial observations:

1) Not sure what your Character is. Looks like a Character with a base Cloth awaiting Texturing.

If it is, maybe you should Texture first & Save your Character to your Custom Characters, before you Animate via Director Mode W Key.

    Can you test again with a Standard Character, eg; Benny? If he works ok, then that narrows   it down to your Character "As is", IMO. 

2) Since your PreviewScreen Timescale Scrubber is at approx half-way along the total Timeline, I assume that Director Mode W Command is "Stuck" at the beginning & your Character hasn't moved along the Timeline?

3) Test with a different Camera angle: Press Enter in Director Mode, to change the Camera angle / Rotate, using the Rotate Tool, so that your Character is facing right to left. Then press the W Key. Doing that should give a better view of the W key not working. 

Anyone-else like to comment?

Thank's Peter - I tried that once before - if I recollect correctly - support informed me that the character was not selected - for me to check the manual and use the forum and they closed it out. As you can see in the previous post the actor is selected - and is nothing different from before..when I was reviewing the problem with support....no - I have had experience with support and is why I am back on the forum. I know it is probably something stupid I am doing - but I just can't figure it out - and as I said before it is something I don't normally use - but it would be nice just to have it-when I may need it. Thanks for your help though- it is appreciated - have a great day everyone.

Thanks for taking the time...

Thank-you Colour for you suggestion. I tried it this time making sure the action preformed was not at the end of the timeline. I have uploaded a print-screen - just keep in mind I had to take my hand off the forward "w" key in order to take a print-screen snap shot. It is probably something stupid I am doing - but I would like to use it more - I appreciate any help - thanks again.

Thanks for taking the time...

ctor's mode is not something I often use. I usually create most of my story though the editor's mode. I wanted to use the director's mode recently and the character would not move ( I pressed the W key with a Dylan Character) at all. I have used director's mode in the past . So I am familiar with how to operate it.
Also...

When I attempted to use the right click menu to perform an action an error comes up which says "Iclone command error adding "perform" comand - The same error comes up with a the right click menu "move" command as well.

Apologies -the above won't quote.

A common prob re; Command Error is that you're inadvertently at the end of your Timescale & haven't returned to the Start.Happens here when I forget & I've seen it Posted byothers.

Select 18,000 Frames anyway, to give you extra leeway.

Posting  Screenshots might help others to resolve it.

Just so you know 8/15/2011 - director's mode still does not work - I truly wish I knew why not... because every now and again it would make my job easier.

Thanks for taking the time...
