Now we are going to get into quite a few duplications and layers
but just take it one at a time and take it slow. You won't have a problem.

Duplicate the plain 1st layer.
Merge down the white bg and the partly open layer.

Merge a white bg and the next partly open layer.
X out these layers.
You should have a white bg and a full breakout layer.

Open the diddle image. Drag the four diddle layer into the breakout image.
Position the diddles on top of each other so the animation is smooth.
(This is covered in previous tutorials)
You want to have a white bg layer, a diddle layer and a full breakout layer.

X out all the layers except the ones your working on.
Merge the 3 layers together.
NOTE* you can add your name to the bg/diddle layer
before you merge the full top break out layer.

Add your name as a vector until you get the size of it. Then convert to raster
and duplicate 4 times. Merge a diddle layer and a name layer.
Save as a psp file.
 (Be sure you have your options set to save as a psp5 format)

You should end up with something like this.
Copy the plain breakout frame, click on the last frame
 
and paste after current

Now click on the next breakout frame and paste after current
until you have something like below.
Then hold the CTRL button down and click on the four diddle frames, copy,
click on the last diddle frame, Paste after Current.
You should end up with something like this.
Set the frame time, I have the starting and ending breakout frames at 10
the Diddle wave frames as 25 and the last white blank frame at 140
so the animation doesn't go too fast.
