Remarks

SkeletalMeshActor is an instance of a USkeletalMesh in the world. Skeletal meshes are deformable meshes that can be animated and change their geometry at run-time. Skeletal meshes dragged into the level from the Content Browser are automatically converted to StaticMeshActors.

Overridden from AActor

	Name	Description
void	CheckForErrors()	Check SkeletalMeshActor for errors.
void	EditorReplacedActor ( AActor* OldActor )	Called by ReplaceSelectedActors to allow a new actor to copy properties from an old actor when it is replaced
bool	GetReferencedContentObjects ( TArray< UObject* >& Objects )	Used by the "Sync to Content Browser" right-click menu option in the editor.
void	PostInitializeComponents()	Allow actors to initialize themselves on the C++ side after all of their components have been initialized, only called during gameplay

Overridden from UObject

	Name	Description
FString	GetDetailedInfoInternal()	This function actually does the work for the GetDetailedInfo() and is virtual.
void	GetLifetimeReplicatedProps ( TArray< FLifetimeProperty >& OutLi... )	Returns properties that are replicated for the lifetime of the actor channel
void	LoadedFromAnotherClass ( const FName& OldClassName )	Called when the object was loaded from another class via active class redirects.

Overridden from IMatineeAnimInterface

	Name	Description
void	BeginAnimControl ( UInterpGroup* InInterpGroup )	Called when we start an AnimControl track operating on this Actor.
void	FinishAnimControl ( UInterpGroup* InInterpGroup )	Called when we are done with the AnimControl track.
void	GetAnimControlSlotDesc ( TArray< struct FAnimSlotDesc >& Ou... )	Other.
void	PreviewBeginAnimControl ( UInterpGroup* InInterpGroup )	Editor preview support.
void	PreviewFinishAnimControl ( UInterpGroup* InInterpGroup )	Called by Matinee when we close it after we have been controlling animation on this Actor.
void	PreviewSetAnimPosition ( FName SlotName, int32 ChannelIndex, UAnimSequence* InAnimSequence, float InPosition, bool bLooping, bool bFireNotifies, float AdvanceTime )	Called each frame by Matinee to update the desired sequence by name and position within it.
void	PreviewSetAnimWeights ( TArray< FAnimSlotInfo >& SlotInfos )	Called each frame by Matinee to update the desired animation channel weights for this Actor.
void	SetAnimPosition ( FName SlotName, int32 ChannelIndex, UAnimSequence* InAnimSequence, float InPosition, bool bFireNotifies, bool bLooping )	Called each from while the Matinee action is running, with the desired sequence name and position we want to be at.
void	SetAnimWeights ( const TArray< struct FAnimSlotInfo ... )	Called each from while the Matinee action is running, to set the animation weights for the actor.
