You may still need to use the Sprite command to position your graphic.

try:

Create animated Sprite 2,"EvilKnight.bmp",69,105,2
Sprite 2,0,0,2

Do
play sprite 2,1,4,20
Sync
loop

...hang on a minute, I just noticed something, is your character realy made up of 7245 frames!?

I think you gotten a little confused with the Create Animated Sprite command. Like confusing across and down with screen co-ords.

Create Animated Sprite sprite number, filename, across, down, image number

across, down refere to the number of frames in the source image, they should idealy call them frames across and frames down.

According to your example your source image is 69 frames across and 105 frames down, thats a lot of frames!

IS Create animated sprite messed up or something?

I do:

Create animated Sprite 2,"EvilKnight2.bmp",1,2,2
Sprite 2,0,0,2

Do
play sprite 2,1,2,100
Sync
loop

and he has two frames and then on the second frame his feet disappear and he sinks a little...grrrrrr. And on his image he is perfectly alligned
