Animation breaks on movement

I am following the Adventure tutorial, and as far as I know i'm following it exactly but when I get to the point of testing the game once the input contols are put into place...the player moves around just fine but when I hit right and left, and animation is correct but if I hit up from that point the character graphics start to scroll through all the tiles in the player object graphic. It just rolls through and looks scrambled. If I don't move the character at all it doesn't happen, or if I move it just a few spaces it won't, but if I move the character around a bit, the animation breaks up and scrolls through the tiles again.

Anyone have any ideas?

In addition to that, when I release the control the "walking animation" continues even though in the input controller I have it set to STOP MOVEMENT on button release.

Okay, I think I figured it out and I'm leaving this post in case anyone else has this issue. I had 4 frames of animation going left and right but only 2 frames going up and down. It appeared that if I hit up or down while in the 3rd or 4th frame of animation left and right then the graphic breakup (but wouldn't happen during the first or second frame). So I went to my up and down animations and made them four frames as well and just copied the frames, then the graphic breakup stopped happening and seems to be fixed. So apparently we need equal amount of frames for up down left right animations?

Yeah, it's a issue with the frame count. It needs to be set to the same number.
Which version are you using? I think it's fixed in the 4.0.X? 4.1?

I'm using 4.0.11 for the tutorial learning, but I do have 4.1 (I want to finish the tutorial first before using the new version).

Ah ah, I understand and you’re doing well.

And I would suggest to add the version on your post title (and maybe specify the module used), because it’s becoming difficult to analyse all people questions, testing before answering,... wrongly assuming there are using the last version... and even for future searches on the forum. It’s easier if it’s in the title ;)
