Maybe you saved the picture as a .png or something else. For animated pictures you have to save them as a .gif.
P.S. I am german.

Remember that you need to save it as an animated GIF - not a normal GIF. ;)

I've had a look, and your sprite isn't animated even by opening it directly in the browser. Obviously it won't be animated in game :wink:

By the way, you should use another host for pictures. The one you're currently using to host your von karma picture doesn't work ingame, because it uses a weird redirection protocol that firefox doesn't seem to follow correctly when the picture is inside of a page.
When I open the picture url directly in Fx, I see the picture, but I can't see it in the editor nor in the game... :?

Try fileden.com instead :wink:
