What is it you are trying to achieve?
want to have more then one sprite moving at once

What is the problem you are having?
cant get previous element of y to continue to decrease by 1 after new element of y is initiated

Turing:

button := Pic.FileNew ("button.bmp") var newWidth := Pic.Width (button) var newHeight := Pic.Height (button) var sButton := Pic.Scale (button, newWidth div 5, newHeight div 5) buttonSprite := Sprite.New (sButton) Sprite.SetHeight (buttonSprite, 1) var num : int := 1 var x : int var y : array 1 .. 299 of int x := 100 Pic.Draw (background, 0, 0, picCopy) for i : 1 .. 299     y (num) := maxy     num := num + 1 end for num := 1 loop     if Time.Elapsed = 999 or y (num) < maxy then         Sprite.Show (buttonSprite)         Sprite.Animate (buttonSprite, sButton, x, y (num), true)         y (num) := y (num) - 1         delay (1)         num := num + 1         if y (num) = -150 then             Sprite.Hide (buttonSprite)         end if     end if end loop

Using sprites makes just adds unnecessary complexity for a project like this. Just use traditional animation with Pic.Draw and cls. It might take a few hours to learn how to do it properly but it's ultimately a lot easier than using sprites, which are easier now but will be a pain in the ass later on.

As for your problem, look at this line:

code:

if Time.Elapsed = 999 or y (num) < maxy then

What are your y values initialized to? How likely is it that this line will execute at exactly 999ms after the program started?
