Thanks, Richmond and Mike: So…. the frame rate of the animated gif is set when the gif is made? And, the movement of the gif is controlled by the movespeed command. Obviously, these two speeds would need to be coordinated, or the tiger might look like its slipping on wet grass, pawing the ground. I wonder if there are any gotchas if the gif animation could get out of whack with the movespeed control of the figure across the screen.
Nice animation, and you both are amazing!
