Hi nick,

Other way to make an animation in VFP, that I use with no problems is make it with a Container base class

Create a new class bassed on container
Add an Image control for each pictures of your animation and name it ImageX with X=number of picture
Add a timer control and set it to the interval that you like
Add a property named nCurPic and set it to 1
In timer event, do:
With this.parent
.nCurPic = .nCurPic + 1
If .nCurPic > PICTURECount && Is the number of Images
.nCurPic = 1
EndIf
EndWith

This is not the best way and is hard! But works ok! And is pure VFP Code
