I'm having an issue . I need an animated sprite to play in front of a 3D playfield, but it keeps loading the sprites behind everything! How can I fix this??

Thanks, Benjo! I had 2 problems going on here;

First, as said, when I simply tried loading the sprite as a single frame - not animated - it was behind everything.

Second, when I made an animated sprite I said size 300x27 - I should have had 1x6.

...And the world is all right again.

I liked using a plane instead of sprites, more flexible and you can perform 3d transformations as well.

Interesting ... But that takes more time to load, and my project is rather speed-critical. I might just use that later, though ....

Yeah, you can use Sparky's collision with it to, so if you need to create menu items, to me it's easier to use 3dplanes and texture them
But I can definitely see the speed issue.
