Sorry to post so much lately, but I have an strip of graphics that is six cells long and each cell measures 16x16. How would I show one 16x16 frame and not the whole image?

Paste 16*16 blocks of the image, and not the whole image

If i understand you correctly, just draw the image you want to display within your strip. In your case load the strip with a LoadAnimImage() command and then simply draw the image you want using Drawimage("yourimage",x,y,CellNumber).

yeah I concur with Benyboy. then you've got to code some nice timing so it shows each frame for the correct amount of time and loops etc.

Thanks a lot I got it working. I just didn't see the function for it.

Ryan: LoveChess is a Blitz game and it has been posted here before. :-) And it uses my shadow system! So I figured you would have heard of it.
