Animation in photoshop CS6 for GLBasic

When making an animation in photoshop CS6 that you plan to put into GLBasic you can not use GIFS, you need to use a PNG.

This can be used to make characters animate on screen.

Make your character in photoshop with a transparent background, then copy that character and make small changes. This can be used for characters running or standing, but in my case I am making a basic bird flying animation for a side scrolling game.

Once you have made the several different versions of the character in different stages of the animation you must make an animation 'strip', so have them placed side by side in order with equal distances apart. You can use the crop tool to make the size of the canvas to fit. They must be exactly the same distance so make sure you have done it right. This is how I did my bird flapping animation:
