Here''s my init code. The D3DXCreateTextureFromFileExA is the most important part I think?
        
HRESULT CSimpleSprite::Initialize(char *path, RECT sprite_rect, short frames_right, short frames_down)
{
	HRESULT hr = 0;
	D3DSURFACE_DESC desc;
	RECT rect;
	rect.bottom = sprite_rect.bottom;//{0,0, 0,0};

	rect.left = sprite_rect.left;
	rect.right = sprite_rect.right;
	rect.top = sprite_rect.top;

	hr = D3DXCreateTextureFromFileExA(g_pDevice, 	// LPDIRECT3DDEVICE8 pDevice	

									path,	// LPCSTR pSrcFile	

									256,	// UINT Width	

									256,//D3DX_DEFAULT,	// UINT Height	

									D3DX_DEFAULT,	// UINT MipLevels	

									0,//D3DUSAGE_RENDERTARGET,	// DWORD Usage	

									D3DFMT_UNKNOWN,	// D3DFORMAT Format	

									D3DPOOL_MANAGED,	// D3DPOOL Pool	  -- D3DPOOL_DEFAULT

									D3DX_DEFAULT,	// DWORD Filter	

									D3DX_DEFAULT,	// DWORD MipFilter	

									m_TransparentColor,	// D3DCOLOR ColorKey  - transparent färg!	

									NULL,			// D3DXIMAGE_INFO* pSrcInfo	

									NULL,			// PALETTEENTRY* pPalette	

									&m_pTexture);	// LPDIRECT3DTEXTURE8* ppTexture


	D3DXCreateSprite(g_pDevice, &m_pSprite);

	m_pTexture->GetLevelDesc(0, &desc);
  
	if(sprite_rect.bottom == 0)
	{
		sprite_rect.bottom = desc.Height;
		sprite_rect.right = desc.Width;
		vecSpriteRec.push_back( sprite_rect/*{0,0, (LONG)desc.Width, (LONG)desc.Height}*/ );
	}
	else
	{
		if(desc.Height % sprite_rect.bottom != 0)
			return E_INVALIDARG;

		for(int y=0; y < frames_down; y++)
		{
			for(int x=0; x < frames_right; x++)
			{
				vecSpriteRec.push_back(rect);

				rect.left = rect.right ;
				rect.right += sprite_rect.right ;
			}

			rect.top = rect.bottom ;
			rect.bottom += sprite_rect.bottom ;
		}
	}

	wFrameMax = (short)vecSpriteRec.size();   // skulle kunna vara en POINT, om bilden e en matris. Tänk mer på d här...


	m_bInitialized = TRUE;

	return S_OK;
}
  


Here''s my Render function.
      
HRESULT CSimpleSprite::Render()
{
	if(!m_bInitialized)
		return E_FAIL;

	HRESULT hr = 0;

	m_pSprite->Begin();

	hr = m_pSprite->Draw(m_pTexture,
						&vecSpriteRec[wFrame],
						&m_Scaling,
						&m_RotCenter,
						m_Rotation,
						&m_Translation,
						m_ModulateColor);

	m_pSprite->End();
	
	return S_OK;
}
