Fish Demo Tutorial problem

I'm having a problem with the Fish Demo Tutorial - Part 8, Config Datablock.
I have typed in the code, saved it, restarted TGB, selected FishDatablock from the datablock config drop down, selected an animated sprite, placed it on the level, saved the project, and played the level. Well after checking and double and triple checking the code and the settings the second fish that I put in the level just sits in the same spot when I play the level. I checked the sceneobject settings, scripting settings, worldlimit settings, and dynamic field settings and everything seems to be right. However the fish won't move. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I'm using Mac OS X 10.4.7 for my operating system if that matters.

It seems like you are trying to use a t2dAnimatedSpriteDatablock for a t2dStaticSprite. Make sure you're using an Animated Sprite, not a Static Sprite.

Thomas, Thanks. I had a Static sprite selected. After selecting the correct animated sprite everything works fine now. Thanks to both you and Stephen for your help!

You also should have a console.log file in the same place as your executable (again, if Mac is different someone please correct me!), you can open that in a text editor to view the log after you've exited TGB.
