you need to use a custom sprite command that would use specific timer() intervals

I'm sure adding more frames into your animation should make the animation slower?

If you get me?

I can't d/l your file, but I think should help?

Have a counter value that decreases from ,say, 5 to 1, in 1 step per loop. THen, simply call the animation sub only when the counter is 5. This will make the animation 5x as slow.

eg:
sync rate 50
counter = 5

do
dec counter
if counter<1 then counter=5
if counter=5 then gosub animation
sync
loop

animation:
return

For more info on stuff like this, see my blog!
