Step next picture will placed 'step' pixels right. If
step was minus, next picture will placed left side.
And also step was 0, picture will placed same
position.
Delay time in mili-sec between next picture. If it was
too short, it requires lot of CPU cycle.
and
Run start animation
Stop stop animation
Exit terminate program
Control dialog and animation have same Z-order. If you place
control dialog at top, animations also on top. And if you select
another window as top, animation moved below such windows.
Problems
If 'step' was short, previous image remains a while. If you known
good method to avoid it without mashine load, ley me know.
Warning
This program consumes lot of system resources (CPU and memory), so
if you want to use
Large Bitmap
Complex Bitmap
system will slow down. Practical limit will depend on your machine.
So first try with small and simple bitmaps.
