Use Pic.FileNewFrames to load the animation into an array, but instead of using Pic.DrawFrames to draw the entire array, use the standard Pic.Draw with only one element of the array. Use an integer to keep track of what frame should be drawn, and draw the relevant frame.

Two ways around this:
1) Clear the screen(cls). This is the option I generally use, as it works quite well and isn't overly annoying. You're going to have to redraw everything anyways, might as well just get rid of it all.

2)redraw the image using the picXor picture mode.
code:

Pic.Draw(myImage,x,y,picMerge) %draw the image
delay(200) %give them a bit of time to see the image
Pic.Draw(myImage,x,y,picXor) %reset to background colour.

Which will reset the area previously occupied by the image to the Background colour.

i am trying to load the file but on the last line of the below code i get arro segmentation violation

var numGuyFramesRight : int := Pic.Frames ("ManRightWalk.gif")
var guyPicIDsRight : array 1 .. numGuyFramesRight of int
var guyDelayTimeRight : int
Pic.FileNewFrames ("ManRightWalk.gif", guyPicIDsRight, guyDelayTimeRight)
