animation helllllp NEEDED!!!!

-----------------------------------

What is it you are trying to achieve?

I want to build a character that moves horizontally across the page. How can i make gif. file move in turing. 

What is the problem you are having?
 :( I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO??????


Describe what you have tried to solve this problem



Post any relevant code (You may choose to attach the file instead of posting the code if it is too long)








Please specify what version of Turing you are using

You can't use a .gif file in turing.
What you have to do is get still images of the gif in different stages of its motion (sprites), and then just follow tjmoore's code.

You actually can use gifs in Turing, using Pic.FileNewFrames and Pic.DrawFrames, but I don't recommend it.

Dusk Eagle, you really like correcting me, don't you ... ^^ and yet you're always right.

well played... 

and rose, better not use gif's at all. it takes away from the learning experience...

Use the turing documentation for  Pic.FileNewFrames and Pic.DrawFrames

the problem is it doesn't work well with many gif files
