Glad it's working. Some thoughts; It could have been a file name error (typo's usually). The media got moved or renamed. Or, your code got moved. If you loaded your code into an unsaved DBA in the IDE, then the default directory move to the temp folder. Or, if you started with an unsaved DBA in the IDE and then saved it, the default folder moved to the new folder. In either case, the media would not have been found because the default directory changed. DBPro is tricky on how it handles saving it's DBA and DBPro files. Everything seems to work, but it can be a major pain until you can wrap around how everything works. You can even lose code if you aren't careful.

There's lots of programs that can make GIF files, the commercial ones being Adobe's ImageReady (which comes with photoshop) and Jasc PaintShopPro. If you do a search on google you'll find free ones aswell.

Instead of using animated sprites, what you could do is use a normal sprite, and change the image number it uses whenever you want to change a frame, this means you have to have individual images for each frame though.
