Microsoft directAnimation media control : sprite control- please please help

hi, does anyone here know how to use the sprite control? (microsoft directanimation control) (DAXCTLE.OCX)
the only way to specify an image is by the "sourceURL" and i can't seem to get it to work, it just doesn't want to display anything.
can someone please tell me how this thing works, i really need this cos i can't learn bitblt in a week and i think i'll stick to simpler things which all i have to do is move the location of teh picture placeholder.
all the help pages i saw was talking about using it in html so i still can't get it to work,

i'm doing a school project and it's going to be due in a week, and anigif control is crap because everytime i move it, it displays it's background colour (flash once) instead of being transparent all the time. so i really need to know how to use this control
thanks
