It's explaining movement controls and it's an animation. I want it to appear the first time somebody plays the game.
Ok, I would create it in a seperate layout and use pictures to explain movement controls for people that don't read your language.
Make a button that says PLAY and when they have seen the instruction they push play to start the game events.
On Touch on Object PLAY: Go to layout GemeEvents
