a gani tip about filesize
 

if you plan on making a gani and want to reduce filesize, you will obviously use the compress button to remove unused sprites, but what you should not do is delete all sprites from unused directions. this will mess it up severely and next time you open it, you will see some wierd stuff. so if your not using a directions or 2, leave the sprites alone. i learned this the hard way and spent 30 minutes repairing my gani in notepad.
