Thread: Sprite won't animate while moving! Please help

I'm using a 2d game engine called GTGE. You can find the API just by googling it. This issue has plagued me for days now and I need help. I initialize the different animation frames (when looking up, down, left, right) and then try to set them when the user inputs a direction command. The image will change but won't animate while the sprite moves. It's very odd.
Here is my method:
Note that going left and right (A/D) have not had AnimationSprite implemented and it was the old placeholder of simply changing the image.

	public void movement(long elapsedTime){
 
		BufferedImage[] player_walking_up = getImages("player_walking_up.png", 2, 1);
		BufferedImage[] player_walking_down = getImages("player_walking_down.png", 2, 1);
		BufferedImage[] playerU = getImages("player_still.png",1,1);
		if (keyDown(KeyEvent.VK_A)){
			//s1.setImage(playerL);
			s1.addHorizontalSpeed(elapsedTime, -0.005, -0.1);
		}
		else if (keyDown(KeyEvent.VK_D)){
			//s1.setImage(playerR);
			s1.addHorizontalSpeed(elapsedTime,  0.005,  0.1);
		}
		//else if (s1.getHorizontalSpeed() > 0) s1.addHorizontalSpeed(elapsedTime, -0.0005, 0);
		//else if (s1.getHorizontalSpeed() < 0) s1.addHorizontalSpeed(elapsedTime,  0.0005, 0);
		else
			s1.setImages(playerU);
		if (keyDown(KeyEvent.VK_W)){
			s1.setImages(player_walking_up);
			//s1.addVerticalSpeed(elapsedTime, -0.005, -0.1);
			s1.moveY(-1);
		}
		else if (keyDown(KeyEvent.VK_S)){
			s1.setImages(player_walking_down);
			//s1.addVerticalSpeed(elapsedTime,  0.005,  0.1);
			s1.moveY(1);
		}
		else
			s1.setImages(playerU);
		//else if (s1.getVerticalSpeed() > 0) s1.addVerticalSpeed(elapsedTime, -0.0005, 0);
		//else if (s1.getVerticalSpeed() < 0) s1.addVerticalSpeed(elapsedTime,  0.0005, 0);
		//s1.setAnimationFrame(0, 1);
		//s1.setAnimate(true);
		//s1.setLoopAnim(true);

And here is the top of the program. There is a lot more and please let me know if you need to see it.

Welcome to Java Programming Forums. I didn't see your code too much but does .png support animation?
