  sounds good to me.  I don't believe there is anything preventing that right 
now, other than the necessary animation frames.

  I don't think there was ever really a limit on the number of animations 
allowed for a single object.  However, I think it was more just a case that most 
people were not going to make 40 images for a single object.
