I read that the motn file is an XML file so i've been experimenting
with it and found that there are factory tags that appear as soon as
a scene node is created.
These factory tags have UUIDs in them and they seem to come from a
constant list of UUIDs or something.
Is there a way to predict what the UUIDs will be? or do i have to
add stuff in motion to try get the factories to appear in the XML
document?
also, are the id attributes in most tags random numbers? or is there
a specific range that they have to be in?
say for example some parameter such as color has the tag <flags>
with some four digit number while the flags for the colour
parameters are only two digit
are these numbers random (but consistent between related parameters)?
if i have a program to generate the motn files do i have to worry
about the flag values? what are they, and what is the difference
between foldFlags and flags?
The documentation for the Motion file format can be found here:

It's not quite as complete as we'd like, but please look it over and
then let us know if you still have questions.
Thanks,
