Animating Elmo, flickering problems.

[Helldemon80]

Alright, this is Elmo, he may not be that great artistically, but w/e. I am making him wave, so i make his right arm go up and down in a loop, to do this I increase the y1 of his right arm and decrease it. Now the problem is that when it goes up , it starts flickering and such, but when going down it is fine, also it leaves little red lines when the reach their points.. Please Help, thanks...also u will also realize that you cant hear the music, thats because u dont have the file on ur comp, and if u do...Wow..............BTW!..his legs aren't done..THANKS!

code:

setscreen ("graphics:600;500") process Elmossong     loop         Music.PlayFile ("sesamestreettheme.mp3")     end loop end Elmossong process Elmo     var x1, x2, y1, y2 : int     x1 := 450     x2 := 335     y1 := 205     y2 := 270     loop         for count : 1 .. 70             y1 := y1 + 1             %Head             drawoval (300, 350, 96, 82, 16)             drawfilloval (300, 350, 95, 80, 12)             %First Eye             drawfilloval (280, 400, 15, 16, 0)             %Black part of first eye             drawfilloval (280, 400, 8, 8, 16)             %Second Eye             drawfilloval (320, 400, 15, 16, 0)             %Black part of second eye             drawfilloval (320, 400, 8, 8, 16)             %Nose             drawfilloval (301, 370, 20, 20, 42)             %Mouth             drawfillarc (300, 332, 50, 50, 180, 0, 16)             %Body             drawfillbox (361, 275, 241, 245, 12)             drawoval (300, 200, 71, 78, 16)             drawfilloval (300, 200, 70, 80, 12)             %Left arm             Draw.ThickLine (250, 265, 150, 230, 40, 12)             %Right arm..moves arm down             Draw.ThickLine (450, y1, 335, 270, 40, 12)             delay (50)             Draw.ThickLine (450, y1, 335, 270, 40, 0)             %Left Leg             Draw.ThickLine (210, 50, 300, 150, 40, 12)             drawfillarc (220, 30, 170, 90, 120, 140, 12)             %Right Leg             Draw.ThickLine (400, 200, 300, 150, 40, 12)             %Moves right arm down             if y1 = 275 then                 Draw.ThickLine (450, 275, 335, 270, 40, 12)                 for decreasing counte : 70 .. 1                     y1 := y1 - 1                     Draw.ThickLine (450, y1, 335, 270, 40, 12)                     delay (50)                     Draw.ThickLine (450, y1, 335, 270, 40, 0)                     if y1 = 205 then                         Draw.ThickLine (450, 205, 335, 270, 40, 12)                     end if                 end for             end if         end for     end loop         %Left Leg             Draw.ThickLine (210, 50, 300, 150, 40, 12)             drawfillarc (220, 30, 170, 90, 120, 140, 12) end Elmo fork Elmo fork Elmossong
