Animated Collisions? Texture Glitch? (custom stage)

[ToddL]

I'm can't seem to get my platform's collision to animate with the platform's bone, as it should.  I followed

this video tutorial

and reviewed it multiple times to try and ensure that I'm following all the steps correctly, but my platform's collisions still won't animate.
For the sake of clarity:  I have a single model and bone that I've animated to float slightly back and forth horizontally.  After creating it, I went to the collision editor, made a new collision object, selected both my platform's bone and my new collision object, and clicked the + next to model.  The information shows that my second collision object is now associated with the model and bone that I want it to be, but for some reason it doesn't actually follow the bone's animation in game.

I imagine I've just overlooked something simple, but I can't seem to figure it out...
Any idea what I may have done wrong?

Thanks

Second unrelated question:  Do I need to use a format other than CMPR for 2D images and/or textures with transparency?  I tried to put some 2d clouds in my stage but the texture shows as pure white (off white) in game instead of the cloud shaped texture it's supposed to be.

EDIT:  I also tried putting the same texture over the front of a 3d block and I got the same solid white glitch.


EDIT2:  Actually, I forgot that I have another 2d cloud that I imported from another stage and its texture is a CMPR and shows up just fine in game.  Additionally, I replaced that texture with a completely new one that I made from scratch, which seems to suggest that the way I'm making the textures isn't the problem.
What's the problem, then?....
(I'm using the PAC and model files that come with this tutorial.)

for this 1.... u need to have ur collision at the same size of the model b4 u even resize it. and the collision also needs to be at 0 for their y axis!

Animated collisions can't be attached to anything in modeldata[101]
Move the model and animation to either ModelData[1] or ModelData[2], attach the collision to that.

Oh wow--I never even considered that!  Thanks for the help

Thanks to you, DSX8, as well.  I'd been wondering why I the stock Brawl stages have their moving collisions all piled on top of each other making them irritating to work with.  I guess I should have assumed that it might have something to do with why their collisions worked and mine didn't xD

hah well now u kno todd.

Alright, so I checked this out in game and I think I understand what you mean, now:  It appears that the entire collision boundary needs to be centered on the x and y zero of the environment.  IE: if I have a square shaped collision that is 4x4, the corners need to be at (-2, 2) (2, 2) (-2, -2) and (2, -2).

Am I understanding this correctly?

umm no... still wrong...

resize the model first to the way it used to be... then go to Collision Viewer... then make a collision thats the same size as the top part of it.

if its a model thats far away, then bring it in closer, then add a collision to it thats the exact same size.

if u want me to do it for ya, then PM me the stage

Well, I appreciate the offer, but the thing is that my collision is working perfectly after I did it the way I described.  I didn't say anything about resizing it in my post, but I do understand that part--I was just trying to clarify what you meant when you said "and the collision also needs to be at 0 for their y axis".  I think I got it, though.  I'll keep playing with it and if/when I run into more problems I'll return to ask for help again with more details.
Thanks for your help
