I'm not sure if I should post this here, but is about sprites, so I'm posting it here. I wanted to know how to load sources in Game Maker 8. I know there's a button that says "Create Sprite", but does it load sheets, or a single sprite at a time?

I think only single. But I think there is option to break down a big sprite sheet(I think the create from strip function), don't remember it though. I use the create sprite function mainly for single images.

You can load in sprites (= "Load from file") and whole strips ("Load from strip"). You find these options if you create a sprite resource, click the "edit sprite" button and select "File".

And how do I animate this sprites? I mean, when, for example, Link is moving, to make it look like if he was moving.

Set the image_speed to any value. There is the option to experiment within the sprite resource screen.

Another thing, dont get confused with sprite_index and image_index. It tells you on the manual if you look it up.
