5. Keep the backround part selected, now go to edit>copy.

6. Once you have done that close out your selected bg then go to file new, dont touch anything there and just press ok. Because it will already be the size of the bg you selected.

7. Once you did that go to edit>paste and the bg should be there.

8. Get out your sprite sheet and pick a line that you want.

9. Select one at a time, select the first one in your row, then go to edit>copy. Go back to your bg and go to edit paste.

10. Move it somewhere or leave it where it is. Do the same things with the other ones and pile them up like so.

11. Go in imageready.

12. Make all of the sprite layers invisible except the first sprite guy, remember have the animation window open.

13. Once you did that, in the animation window click duplicate frame.

14. Now make the first sprite layer invisible and the second one visible. Keep this going until youve done this with all the layers.

Press play, save optimized and your finished! Tadaaa
