Animation importing?

Well once again here I am with my questions, but this one is really annoying me. Here's the deal:

I have an animation which I like a lot, and it works fine in one save file by itself. I went forward and added two more animations in with that animation, and suddenly *poof* the animation is messed up, and according to some, unrepairable. I've tired to clone it, but to no avail. Apart from completely re-doing the entire animation, which would be a large loss of time, I was curious if it were possible to copy an animation from one Max file's timeline and paste it into another's.

Note: No bones or anything would be different in the two files, just adding an animation via CnP.

I could tell you how to do it for MDL to MDL or MDL to Max, but not Max to Max :P

I knew you'd mention something about MDL editing ; )

Dammit i forgot how the Anim transfer of max is used, but i can guide you to it, try playing with it.

Well to get to it inside your scene, go to the menu:

File -> Merge Animation....

a new window should pop up, select the animation's scene and keep going, if i remenber well it was asociating some bones to oders like sselecting from what bone to which it would transfer

Hmm...I'm trying, so far I've got the merge animation window open, and I choose the one file with the animation I want to merge into the existing one as the source file. What settings do I mess with to make it merge correctly? Does anyone know?
