I assume you've set the screen_locs properly; animate/flick simply does nothing on secondary maps? Have you tried putting these two objects on your default map and seeing if flick/animate works on there first? Just to eliminate that possibility.

I tried on the first map and the resaults are the same :/

What are you setting for screen_loc? Are the objects actually appearing?
May 26 2014, 3:33 am
Yes they do. I do use for example 
screen_loc="Map2:9:-5,4:8"
to locate them. The only problem is animate() and flick().

Now that I think about it I don't think transform and stuff like that applies to screen objects.

that explanes all

Transform does and should apply to screen objects.

Just finished testing this with Phat T, I found that both flick and animate() work perfectly fine in the screen, even on secondary maps. It appears that Phat T was not grabbing the correct handle to the object in the client's screen.
