Questions from a Novice

This is rather embarassing yet I am trying to make a boss and I can not seem to get the boss to use any attacks on the heroes although I did give him a list of moves and I did everything else I could think of which was not much other then choose an animation to use for the attack where it says attacker animation? I apologize for sounding rather dimwitted at the moment yet any information would be very appreciated. By the way I imported the picture that I am using for the boss from a wikipedia like article on the internet for your information.
 
Ok, well, a screenshot of the Enemy would really help here. It would give me the answers to some questions, such as:

-- What frequency did you assign to the attacks?

-- Does the boss have enough SP to use any skills?

-- Did you assign a high frequency to non-attack options, like Do Nothing or Defend?
 
OK I know that this is one of the questions that only a novice would ask but: how exactly do I adjust the frequency of attacks and other battle events? You see I can't even get a BGM file that I imported into the game to play during this battle and I even listed it on an event page as well as a few other things and the enemy still won't use any of its moves and yet it does have enough SP to use the skills that I assigned it to use. I apologize for asking such a rather dumb question yet I really could use some info. on how to make the BGM file play during the battle and make the enemy attack and put up a fight rather then basically being a punching dummy. I hope that you don't mind me using that term yet I was trying to be funny since I am asking a question with an obvious answer.
 
You set that BGM under the systems tab.
Also, you set the enemy's actions under the enemies tab.
There will be Action/Condition, and that's where you set the actions.
The boss's graphic has no bearing on anything. It doesn't even have to have a graphic, and it will still work.
The graphical and animation stuff is just for prettiness. It does nothing to how the system functions.
Please read the help file that comes with the program.
