If you need to blank the top block of a frame, click on the blank space to the left of the button palette.
If you need to blank a key assignment, assign the move to a reserved key (F1, for instance).
Use the background grid to judge character movement from frame to frame. Twenty pixels equals one block.
If you intend a fluid repeating animation, make sure that the first frame moves as many pixels as the later frames.
