Bambi, I unzipped your FSXanimation.ms zip file , and it looks like mine.
It has an open gap between the create and delete buttons showing the Window underneath and was created on 1/25/2007 at 10:15. So was mine.
I looked at an earlier post by JTanabodee
http://www.fsdeveloper.com/forum/threads/animation-does-not-export.20241/
and he has definitely got a different version, or at least the GUI is displaying differently. There is
no gap visible in his post between the create and delete buttons on his jpg.
The Create button is the subject of specific complaints on SIM_OUTHOUSE as well as here. Here's one from LennartA from Sweden.

I decided to look very carefully at the area around the Create Button on the defective RHS Image2.jpg.
Notice the side by side comparison proving there are 2 versions floating around and (
VERY INTERESTING) the one on the defective RHS has the Create and Delete Buttons
OVERLAYING the Window that lists AMBIENT or other animations.
The Create Button and the listing Window are taking up the same coordinates.
To make the case even stronger, you CAN actually make the Create Button work (sometimes) by very carefully clicking on the only part of the Create Button at the bottom LHS that is NOT overlaying the Window.
It takes a lot of patience. I'm sure many people have long since thrown up their hands and gave up.
I'm going to try changing the MS file and separate the Create and Delete Buttons from the Underlying
Display Window.
