i need to play a 2D animation (with DrawImage command) during loading, but i don't know how.... help me please

During loading what ?

Guessing that you are loading a level, a map, or whatever, you can draw the image frame and then use Flip, this will render your animation while loading.

Example:

Global frame ;frame for your animated sprite
Global max_frame ;the max frame for your animated sprite

Load...blah blah
show_animation()

Load...blah blah
show_animation()

Load...blah blah
show_animation()

Load...blah blah
show_animation()

Load...blah blah
show_animation()

Load...blah blah
show_animation()

Load...blah blah
show_animation()

Load...blah blah
show_animation()

Load...blah blah
show_animation()

Load...blah blah
show_animation()

Load...blah blah
show_animation()

Load...blah blah
show_animation()

.

.
Funtion show_animation()
frame = (frame + 1) Mod (max_frame)
Drawimage my_animated_sprite,x,y,frame
Flip
end function

Hope this has sense for you.

Anyway, the meaning of your post still remains obscure to me.
