Stencylworks issues

[MaskedGuardian]

Hey folks - I'm just getting into Stencylworks, and while I'm slowly learning the ropes and feel like I can keep going, I have two problems that have arisen, one more a problem than the other.

The first problem is that my character's idling animation isn't playing, even though everything is set up how it's supposed to be. The animation is set to loop, and when I view the list of animations, everything works fine, but when it comes to actually playing the game, it doesn't seem to work.

The other, more potentially hindering problem, is that when I try to make a very large scene (approx. 2000 tiles or more), the tiles become transparent. What's weirder is that if I move my character to the top of the scene, you can see the tiles there, displaced, and you move right through them. But you drop back down onto the "real" tiles, which you can't see.

Is there a fix to either of these problems? Thank you so much.
