Force Animation Frame Problem

[Moltov]

Hi, I'm having trouble with the force animation frame action.

I have my game set up so that every frame it changes the animation to a box for hit collision tests then after my game loop is run it changes it back to the animation of my enemies, I keep track of animation frames through alterable values.

It all works fine and dandy until I scroll the screen with my character, when I scroll the screen, it ALWAYS forces the frame animation to frame 0 no matter what. I've gone in the debugger and the alterable values are going correctly. Just for some reason it screws up when the screen is scrolling? Once I stopped scrolling it fixes itself and it continues the animation properly. I tried moving both the scrolling and the animation loops around in my game loop that didn't do anything.

I removed all of my enemies except one to see if that was the problem and it wasn't.

I've tried disabling various things just to see if it would fix it and it hasn't. Any help is appreciated .

A good thing to do to try to isolate a possible bug, is to reproduce only the problematic part of the code/events in a blank app.

I took your advice, but sadly I was able to replicate it exactly and cannot figure out the problem. If anyone want's to take a look at it here is the link:

The animation of the blue box is exactly the same (showing numbers from 1 to 8) whether the screen is scrolling or not.

I hadn't updated my MMF2 in a long time, this was the problem, I updated it and now it works fine, thanks.
