Animated sprites question

Now I very well could be wrong here but here it goes, say I want to light a fire and have it animated (change graphics once per frame or twice per frame). I would think a script would be the way to do this yes? I think that I could do it with events though it may be kind of a pain, but I'd like to learn to write quality scripts anyways. So, is a script the best approach for this?

have the fire animated? If you don't want to make your own fire sprite, there are plenty of animated flames in the 'Character' file when you add an image to an event. you just make sure the "stepping animation" is turned on, and when you run your game, the flames will move.

Ahh thats what that is -_- my apologies for that silly question then. Still learning things.

meh questions not silly. Always ask. I am still learning, too! so I am glad to help with my limited knowledge!
