Could you screenshot the bit of code? The thing that comes to mind right now is that if you have the full SPANIM wrapped in a WHILE loop. That would prevent it from playing unless you do something like WHILE 1'or whatever I=I+1 IF I>(whatever I+3 is) THEN I=(base value) SPANIM 1,"I",4,I,1 WAIT 1 WEND Hope you find the issue soon.
