Few things to start.

inside your main loop, you should never have more then 1 delay, or more then one view.update.
having not used any sprites before, i'm not sure this is the most effective/efficient way to use your code... BUT...

LOGICALLY, you want it set up so that your images alternate threw the "moveing" images, and draw them when they are called... and thats it.

well let me re-do your answer tomorrow sometimes, im getting my wisdom tooth surgery thing tomorrow so that'll suck and had drinks inside me tonight, so not really on the ball as i normally would be, 

Anyways i made it work to how you wanted it to work, But its very crappy how you have this set up TBH, and i will tell you better ways and explain why/how this other ways better etc later.

for now, play around with this and make him JUMP up and land back to normal, and have him controllable by a players KEY directions in the meanwhile...

[code]
View.Set ("graphics, offscreenonly, nobuttonbar, nocursor")

var walk : int := Pic.FileNew ("walk.jpg")
var walk1 : int := Pic.FileNew ("walk1.jpg")
var walk2 : int := Pic.FileNew ("walk2.jpg")
var walksp : int := Sprite.New (walk)
var walk1sp : int := Sprite.New (walk1)
var walk2sp : int := Sprite.New (walk2)
var next : int := 0

loop
    for i : 1 .. (maxx - 50) by 2
        if next = 0 then
            %    View.UpdateArea (0, 0, maxx, maxy)
            Sprite.SetPosition (walksp, i, 100, false)
            Sprite.Show (walksp)
            %       Sprite.Hide (walksp)
        elsif next = 1 then
            Sprite.SetPosition (walk1sp, i, 100, false)
            Sprite.Show (walk1sp)
            %  Sprite.Hide (walk1sp)
        elsif next = 2 then
            Sprite.SetPosition (walk2sp, i, 100, false)
            Sprite.Show (walk2sp)
            %  Sprite.Hide (walk2sp)
        end if
        delay (50)
        View.Update
        Sprite.Hide (walksp)
        Sprite.Hide (walk1sp)
        Sprite.Hide (walk2sp)
        if next = 2 then
            next := 0
        else
            next += 1
        end if
    end for
end loop
[/code]

RE:Make Mario Stop Disappearing

for people still learning the programming concept they should first learn how things work such as proc/fcn's and understanding the basics of programming and how/why it works, before attempting to use it in turing very poorly made OOP class.

Further, even if your game is better how is this beneficial for the OP to learn / fix his/her game? and understand it.

the fact that i have a View.Update even in my code i left for the OP, makes your post absolutely useless...  you have nothing useful to add and your promoting a copy/paste idea, which gets people no where.

The better ways i wanted to talk to him about will be helpful to him, if he puts effort into trying to get his character to jump, as i requested, if he shows me effort he'll get better understandings.
