avatar bone movement

[epl]

My avatar name is not listed in the resource window. Here is the code that we are using to invoke the avatar.

avatar = Avatar.Person('avatarname')
avatar.go()
avatar.startPosition(0,0, 180)
avatar.setPose('Poses/seated.bvh')
avatar.restorePose()
#avatar.translate(0,-.25,.65) #sets avatar location in world
# MODIFIED BY ERIC LASCHINGER
avatar.translate(0,-.25,.65)
# THIS ALSO DOES NOT WORK
#righthand = avatar.getbone('Right Hand')

We are not using the standard...
avatar = viz.add('anything.cfg')
