Hi mathacka and Santos, Thank you guys for your replies. Santos, I realized the potential problems that a “normal” loop might cause after some experimentation and reading Boolsheet's post in a similar thread.

Re: Flipping in Anim8

Are you referring to the offset that is introduced after flipping the image? If so, yeah, that’s normal. Remember that all images are drawn following a coordinate system, the system origin (0,0) is located at the top left of the image, when you flip it horizontally, the origin is still at the top le...
