How to have an experiment activate a parts animation?

[ackley14]

hey wasn't sure where to put this so i'll just throw it up here . how would you go about getting a stock science action to activate any given parts animation? (the way for example examining the goo cannister opens it up then activates the science window). or is this only for certain items built into the games core code?

//i've got the science module defined, my problem is getting the research action to play the animation (preferably before the science window appears).

edit: i'm using a "moduleanimationgroup" over "moduleanimategeneric" which may be the root of my problem but i havn't found a work arround

yet.

Edit2: success! apparently Module "load order" is important. i placed the animate generic above the animation group and it worked flawlessly. thanks cap'n for the helpful thread!
