Actually, I think they're drawn and then immediately erased, or possibly overwritten. I have two types of planets, each with six frames of animation. In my drawPlanets() function, I check which type it is, and based on certain conditions, I have the planet either increment or decrement its animationIndex. It seems to get each frame fine, but it flickers, as I mentioned. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks.
