Y thank you 
Your welcome
You'r right, it does seem to jerky. I had placed the 3 different tank frames in flash to run in a loop at 26 frames per second. That seemed to run a little differently from your animation, The red pulse only expanded as the tank droped. What order do you have the frames running in?
The order of frames should be : 1, 2, 3, 2, 1, 2, 3, 2, 1, 2, 3, 2, 1...etc
not 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3...etc
I make the animations with 36 split seconds between each frame, I'm pretty certain this is what it is in game...
And at the risk of sounding rather stupid, how do you post images as a little animation like that? 
I use a neat little program called Jasc Animation Shop 3. You copy each frame of the jpg into the program, select what options you need, it animates it, and you can save it as a .gif.
By the way, like the style of those commander animations.
Thanks
