Thankyou Andreas, but the comma in the message didn't help.
The java errors keep occuring:

(1) Trick is not defined.
(2) missing ) after constructor agrument list. ex:

"                                       \r\n"+
(3) Unterminated string literal.               ex:

"      L   \<        |##|         oooooo

I must concur with Andreas, especially when I recognize the script as
being from my template. (I'm honoured!) But I must stress that I did not
compose that script but cribbed it from an unknown artist's Javascript
animation. I have made a note of this grave omission on my template now.

I see that your animation problem is solved. It looks fine now. Well
done. Please post the URLs for any new ones you do.


NOTE: I do not pick up my mail from the idirect address that you
see. If you are e-mailing me and hit the reply button, add an "e"
to "freent"; its absense is to stop the torment of automatic mailers.

Can someone help me here? I'm new to ascii animation and I have worked
long and hard on this script but something is wrong and I can not figure
out what. Any help will be appreciated. Here is the script:

I'll try. But a bit more information about what exactely 'goes wrong'
would make it easier.

Hrmpf, I'm not to happy with this, since the script is not yours.
Better change it to 'Art copywrite ...'. 

The first bit seems to be OK.

Eh, the comma after the last Ascii-line is wrong.

Looks OK too. If the comma doesn't help please be more 
specific next time. Even better : post a URL with the
not working script.

Bye,

I am so sorry for copywriting your script. The only problem was that I
did not want to send my art out on a news group and have someone steal
it.

Is this better?

Matthew, even though I didn't actually write the script - only the
lesson, that is much better. (By the way, my name is llizard with two
"l's" llike a llama.)

And a nice backflip from that gymnist too.



NOTE: I do not pick up my mail from the idirect address that you
see. If you are e-mailing me and hit the reply button, add an "e"
