Play Animation

Hi

I want to play a animation of my dts-object. ShowToolPro shows me the correct animation.
Note: I dont have dsq-files.

Here is my code: 

datablock StaticShapeData(MyDoor)
{
   category = "anim";
   shapeFile = "~/data/shapes/anim/mydoor.dts";
   className = "MyDoorClass";
};

function MyDoorClass::onAdd(%this)
{
   echo("Door added...");
   %this.playThread(0,"open_close");
}

The Console says:

Unknown command playThread.
Object MyDoor(10) MyDoor -> MyDoorClass -> StaticShapeData -> ShapeBaseData -> GameBaseData -> SimDataBlock -> SimObject

function MyDoorClass::onAdd(%this, %obj)
{
   echo("Door added...");
   %obj.playThread(0, "open_close");
}

The first parameter, %this, refers to the class name. You need to add a second parameter, I use %obj, to reference the actual object.
