Animation help or tutorial

with standart movement include in fusion, you don't have to define te animation, it automatically start the animation coresponding at the state of the action

you should use a collision mask

perhaps because it's a "global objetct" ? try to uncheck it

the animations are where they must be, in the animations library of the sprite

and there is no animation in "mask"

Columbo
Masks are like the actual body of the character, this one shouldn't change shapes or have any animation or everything will break
Masks are usually rectangular or cylindrical
They shouldn't be visible on runtime unless you want to display them for debugging purposes

While the sprite is the actual animated character, it has no movement and will just "follow" the mask by positioning it directly to the mask, Note: this has to be at the very bottom of any movement event related to the character or you will have frame delays
There is a trick you can do in Fusion called embedded detectors, though it's an advanced topic as it requires good knowledge of how the animation system works in fusion and such, don't have to worry about it though

Btw you shouldn't use the built in non-physical Platform movement, it's very buggy and bad in general, fredetmumu used it just as a simple example of masks
You should use PMO, physical Platform movement or make your own (making your own movement depends on you as you program it yourself)

Quote from Columbo

Thanks Linky. fredetmumu has been very helpful for me on a number of topics. The problem is that I do not understand animation in MMF2.5. I have no idea where the "animation library" is that fredetmumu mentioned or how you get your animation into this library. This why I was looking for a really good beginner tutorial on animation for MMF2.5. The animation that I want to use is just 4 frames. What I did, although it is probably totally wrong, was to create an active object, and import frame 1 of the animation, (as an animation). When I did that it exported all 4 frames. Then I created a condition, 'while right arrow is pressed">start animation. I starts the animation ok but when the right arrow is released, the player stops moving to the right but the animation continues. I tried using If player is stopped>stop animation but then the animation would not work at all. The player moved right and left but no animation. I think what I need is a good step-by-step animation tutorial. I have looked around but I don't see anything that really explains the animation process in detail.

Hey, so first of all from the first post you look like you use a built in movement
Any built in movement will automatically change animations based on it's state, so if you want to learn the animation system in Fusion you have to not attach any movement (static) to the thing you will be testing on
Animation system in Fusion works simple at first but there are some scenarios where it can be a bit confusing for some

If you want to control any animation event you have to use the animation menu when selecting objects, there are variety of Conditions / Actions and Expressions for the animation menu only
I recommend you to play with the different actions that animation context menu contains, they are pretty straight forward from there name alone, but you can also read about them from:
Help / Contents / The objects / Inventory / Graphics and animation objects / The Active object or just by clicking Help from the About tab of any Active's properties

Again play around with them without attaching any built in movement to the object, there is some stuff you might encounter with the animation editor that you might find weird, if so you can just post it here

the aniamtions are : when you draw a sprite, in the down at the lelt there is a list with :"stop, walk, run, jump etc..." ou click on one and you draw your animation in.
like Lignes said, when you use an implemented animation, fusion use automatically the animation corresponding

*LEFT not lelt

it's the same thing, you can load it at the same place. if you dont know how to do, i will make a short video for you, or look on youtube, i think there is a video explicating

post here your png if you want

Please login to see this link.
you can see then fusion import all the png when i click on the first mario, it's because they are named mario1, mario2, masio3....
if there isn't xxx1,xxx2,xxx3, you must choose every image one by one
