Siopses - save the animated image under whatever name you want. It doesn't make sense to ask 'would blitz recognize the frames' as all the animated image is really is just a larger image containing all the other images laid out in a series. When you use loadanimimage the parameters specifying "width,height,first frame,frame count" are used to tell blitz which parts of the image go into each frame.
One important point, I feel, to remember with animstrips is there is usually a lot of wasted space 'transparent pixels' for certain types of animations/images like people/creatures for instance.
