Why doesn't my animation work?

[Zareth]

I've been following the documentation and haven't been able to reproduce the animation I made for my farm building.
Does anyone know why nothing happens?

Maybe you could show us these files to see what they look like:
"bmp" : "CowAnimation_0001_bmp.png",

"bmp" : "CowAnimation_0002_bmp.png",

"bmp" : "CowAnimation_0003_bmp.png",

"bmp" : "CowAnimation_0004_bmp.png",

Things to try (1 for sure):

1. animated should be animation.
2 loop - I am unaware of this tag.
(Unused tags are basically ignored.)

3. "handle interpolation" : 5, won't do anything if you are intending to move cows around the field and all your (x and y)s are 0.

I've already fixed what you told me about changing animated to animation, but it still doesn't work.

I just saw the cows in the manual construction section, but they're much lower than the farm. What's wrong? I already changed the "y" value, but it doesn't work.

But it's only visible in that section; it's still not visible in the game.
