This animation is supposed to show molecules moving through the nose and triggering the olfactory neurons. The neurons are 'activated' by changing the ambient value. The third one is activated at this frame.
Poser's preview is defective when it comes to showing ambient, and I was getting frustrated. I couldn't match the frame when the ambient turns on with the frame when the molecule hits the neuron. The ambient was turning on two or three frames late and staying on for two or three frames.
I found the solution accidentally. If you HOVER the mouse over the prop that has the ambient, the changes will show in the preview immediately. You don't need to click on the prop, which can move it around. Just hover.
