Re: Graphics ... almost working ... missing one line?

I never said that the FormShown event was the optimum place to do animation. I was answering a specific question from the poster which is, "Is there some quick and dirty I can do for the start-up to make the form appear before the animation starts (or even finishes!)?" Did you notice the quick and dirty reference? Hence, I offered the FormShown event. Quick and dirty.

Yes. Try the FormShown event instead. The FormLoad event is NOT the place to try animation.

Neither is FormShown. _Starting_ some animation process might be appropriate there, and would be just as appropriate in the FormLoad event. Actually _doing_ the animation belongs there no more than it belongs in FormLoad.
