That worked. I was getting the picture at 32 * 4 when that was the bottom corner. This is my current animation code

}and here is my painting code
import javax.imageio.ImageIO;
import javax.swing.JPanel;

import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;
import java.awt.image.ImageObserver;
import java.io.File;

import java.io.InputStream;
public class Painting extends JPanel implements KeyListener{
Animation animate = new Animation ();
boolean up, down, left, right, animating = false;
boolean firstStart = true;
Image character;
public void redraw (Image person){
character = person;
repaint();
}
public void startGraphics() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
BufferedImage bi;
try {
bi = ImageIO.read(new File ("Images/image.png"));
character = bi.getSubimage(0, 0, 32, 32);
System.out.println ("Image: " + character);
repaint();
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
animate.initAnimation (this);
System.out.println ("startGraphics method");
addKeyListener (this);
this.grabFocus();
}
public void paintComponent (java.awt.Graphics g){
super.paintComponent(g);
System.out.println ("Paint");
g.drawImage (character, 0, 0, 32, 32, null);
}
@Override
public void keyPressed(KeyEvent arg0) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
int key = arg0.getKeyCode();
up = false;
down = false;
left = false;
right = false;
System.out.println ("Key Pressed");
if (key == KeyEvent.VK_UP){
up = true;
System.out.println ("Up pressed");
}
if (key == KeyEvent.VK_DOWN){
down = true;
}
if (key == KeyEvent.VK_LEFT){
left = true;
}
if (key == KeyEvent.VK_RIGHT){
right = true;
}
if ((right != false || left != false || up != false || down != false)){
animating = true;
System.out.println ("Going to animation");
animate.startAnimation(up, down, left, right);
try {
Thread.sleep(100);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
repaint();
}
@Override
public void keyReleased(KeyEvent arg0) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
up = false;
down = false;
left = false;
right = false;
animating = false;
}
@Override
public void keyTyped(KeyEvent arg0) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
}now my problem is that when I hold down the button to animate it, the key pressed button lags the animation. If I tap one of the buttons it works correctly.
