I have all my images for one character on a giant sprite sheet, but whenever i use the dbPlaySprite () function the animated sprite goes outside of the "int iStart" and "int iEnd" and my character performs actions which are not what i expect, anyone know what's is going on?

For example, when i want to walk, my character with pull out his bow, but once the sprite loops back to the "int iStart" and "int iEnd" it stays there.

Thanks anyone who offers advice

When the animation changes, before calling dbPlaySprite, use the dbSetSpriteFrame function to set the first frame of the new animation.

well i tried dbSetSpriteFrame, i did this by using the function to get the frame I'm on, and if I'm on the wrong frame I call dbSetSpriteFrame, but my compiler complains about the function that gets the frame number is a bool, i cant remember the function to get frame number but maybe I'll edit later, the error is skipped but I think it's is preventing me from using dbSetSpriteFrame appropriately, any suggestion for this?

I had the same problem with playing sprites, i used the dbSetSpriteFrame() before calling dbPlaySprite() & it resulted in my sprite not animating, so i tried
if(dbSpriteFrame(1)<11)
dbSetSpriteFrame(1,11);
if the sprite frame is less than the starting animation frame then set it to the starting animation frame
& that works great for me
