I have two animations right now using the main actor with PlayAnim.  In the climb one, when the animation is finished, the character resumes where the animation stopped, which is very nice.  On the other one, the character swings on a rope which is an attached subframe.  In this one, the shadow of the character gets left behind, and when the animation is finished, the character returns to the starting point, not where he finished.

You can see in SpriteEdit that it's possible to specify the "move X" and "move Y" values for each frame. That way the animation can affect the position of the game object (actor/entity) which plays the animation. So, if you want your swing animation to actually move your actor, you should use the move x/y values for this purpose.

Alternatively you could move the actor immediately after playing the animation.

actor.PlayAnim("swing.sprite");
actor.SkipTo(100, 200);

Oh, that's it.  I did it on the climb but not on the rope.  Thanks.
