My instructor wants us to animate a picture in VB 2008. He didn't tell us how to do it. It is not in my book either. I googled how to animate but most of the sites are over my HEAD since I just started my class. Can anyone tell me a simple way to animate an object?So this is homework? We can't help you. Study how animation is done and then you will understand how to do it in VB2008. It involves creating a sequence of pictures, each slightly different from the ONES before and after, so that when they are viewed rapidly in sequence it seems like one moving picture. Perhaps you could create a simple image of a bouncing ball USING equations of motion.

When I see questions like this; I think that the questioner must be in the wrong class because the teacher is assuming a certain level of KNOWLEDGE and understanding in the STUDENTS. If the teacher is wrong, then he is a poor teacher. If the teacher is correct, then the student does not have the right abilities for the class.

The whole point of programming is that you first think about the problem to be solved and work out how it must be done. It won't be in the book. If your next step is to ask on a web forum, maybe you should take a different class?


Thanks for your advice. My instructor never explained how animation worked. I googled how animation worked. I have a couple of ways to do it now.
