<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>I have created to the following set of nodes and routes to
animate a scene in which the viewpoint is moved when the scene is first loaded
and, when the viewpoint move is complete, an animation loop begins.  The
animation driven by the TimeSensor “Time” works as I expect it to
when rendered by the Xj3D Browser and the open source flux browser. 
FreeWRL, BS Contact, and Octaga do not seem to ever start the TimeSensor “Time”. 
Which behavior is correct?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
