i need some advices

[joaquim]

i have 1 property in my UC:

Public Property Get FileName() As String
    FileName = strFileName
End Property

Public Property Let FileName(New_FileName As String)
    Dim I As Integer
    strFileName = New_FileName
    tmrAnimation.Enabled = False

        StripsActivate = Strip.Activate
        lngActualSubImage = 0

        If PicAnimation.Count > 1 Then
            For I = 1 To PicAnimation.Count - 1
                Unload PicAnimation(I)

How many files and/or images is it processing and how large are they?

How many files and/or images is it processing and how large are they?

in these case i have 4 directions, i have 4 animated and 4 static images... they appear depending on movement or not movement. the animated gif has 3 or 4 subimages not more.
if you want i can put here my game, here i'm testing 100% my UC, but the problem is that you need(in these project game) my OCX file.
