Реализация анимации без мерцания

Оформил: DeeCo

{ 
 You will need an image, called ImageSprite, containing a sprite bitmap with 
 black as the background (the transparent part). You will also need an image, 
 called ImageMask, containing a black silouette of the sprite with white as the 
 background and an Image called ImageBackground containing the background 
 image. All these images are set to visible := false. Image1 is the image you 
 will see and is the same size as the background image.
