cropping animation with combo file? [Solved]

I want to make it so the attack starts about halfway through the animation, because right now it looks like this:

Is there any way I can do that with the combo file? I think using blend times would help but I am not quite sure how they work. I have read all the docs on them.

here is the relevant part of my combo file

Hidden/Spoiler:

[code]Animation("stand_dashflip")

{

    BlendTimeIn(0.15);

    BlendTimeOut(0.2);

}

State("DASHFLIP2")

{

    Posture("Stand");

    Animation("stand_dashflip");

	{

		BlendInTime(0.15);

		BlendOutTime(0.15);

	}

    EnergyRestoreRate(0);

    AlignedToThrust();

    Sound("com_weap_throw");

    InputLock("All", "!Thrust");

    Attack()

    {

	AttackID("Dash2");

        DamageTime(13, 21, "Frames");

        DamageLength(1.5);

        DamageWidth(1.0);

        Damage(600);

        Push(5.0);

    }

    Transition("IDLE") 

    {

	If()

	{

	    Break(25, "Frames");

	}

    }

}

[/code]

EDIT:

well i think i solved it with these lines

TimeStart(5, "Frames");
TimeEnd(16, "Frames");

I haven't tried it yet but I'm marking this as solved

EDIT: didn't work.. those lines are only used to control when you can trigger the next attack. still trying

EDIT: I just edited the animation .msh in xsi. easier than I imagined.
