Actually it’s in the public class Game1, not LoadContent.

I get an error when typing in “AnimatedTexture” in the LoadContent place.

Error 1 The type or namespace name ‘AnimatedTexture’ could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

please help.

if I were to make a new class like the animated texture or others, where do I put it, and how do I include it into the project?

I usually recreate them myself. It’s a bit of a pain but works. I start with a clean strip of the size I want (number of frames x frame width) and then copy/paste frames to it.

Hey,

First I want to say thanks for these tutorials they’re great. I’ve tried to take sprite sheets from the web to use but I keep running into the problem of the images not being evenly spread out or spaced correctly. How would you deal with this issue.

Hi Nazeeh, thanks for the clarification, I got it working with the adding the frame width to the counter but I realize that can be confusing. Your way is definitely better.

Hey Kamal :)

Sorry for the late reply.

Nah…the code is correct. Here’s how it works:

You have a long horizontal image that has all the frames of the animation, right? Each frame is X pixels in width, so the entire image is X * Frames in pixels. So to be able to tell at which pixel a frame starts, we multiply the number of the frame by the width of the pixels. For instance, if my frames are each 10 pixels long and I have 5 of them, the image is 5 * 10 = 50 pixels wide. Frame 1 (which would be index 0 since we start from 0 all the way to 4) would be:

Frame #0 * 10 = 0

First frame starts at pixel 0! Correct!

Frame #1 (which is second frame) starts at 1 * 10 = 10

Second frame starts at pixel 10!

see how it works? That is why we multiply.

Hope that helps! Enjoy XNA!!
