it seems to me that when you change the sprite.top property, you're not
moving the sprite as much as stretching it. put the sprite.stretch
before and after and check it out.
if it is being stretched, i've noticed that sometimes when you change
one length, the perpendicular length can change too, even if you don't
touch it. i think it has something to do with only certain ratios of
widths to heights being allowed?
try using different numbers than 5. it might work if you only move it 4 pixels?
