Turing:

loop         View.Update         Input.KeyDown (Pushed)         if Pushed (KEY_RIGHT_ARROW) then             loop                 Input.KeyDown (Pushed)                 exit when Pushed (KEY_RIGHT_ARROW) not= true                 %Background Update                 %FRAME 1                 View.Update                 Input.KeyDown (Pushed)                 exit when Pushed (KEY_RIGHT_ARROW) not= true                 %Background Update                 %FRAME 2                 View.Update                 exit             end loop         end if         if Pushed (KEY_LEFT_ARROW) then             loop                 Input.KeyDown (Pushed)                 exit when Pushed (KEY_LEFT_ARROW) not= true                 %Background Update                 %FRAME 1                 View.Update                 Input.KeyDown (Pushed)                 exit when Pushed (KEY_LEFT_ARROW) not= true                 %Background Update                 %FRAME 2                 View.Update                 exit             end loop         end if     end loop

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...

Am I? I'm not trying to pick on you or anything .

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

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