A simple class for playing animations using a group of single images as an alternative to using Flump

Flambe-AnimatedSprite

AnimatedSprite is a simple tool for making animated graphics using single separate images. It is not as robust as other animation tools but it is perfect for small scale and simple sprite animations.

This tool is inspired by the animation toolkit of Flixel (http://haxeflixel.com/documentation/flxsprite/#animation).

Working Example

Roadmap

• Use of texture atlasses

Creating an AnimatedSprite object

_animatedSprite = new AnimatedSprite(assetPack, textureArray); 

• assetPack - The assetpack to get the textures from
• textureArray - An array containing strings which points to the images to be used by this animated sprite

Example

_animatedSprite = new AnimatedSprite(pack, 
	[ "pop/idle_awake/1"
	, "pop/idle_awake/2"
	, "pop/idle_awake/3"
	, "pop/idle_awake/4"
	, "pop/idle_sleeping/1"
	, "pop/idle_sleeping/2"
	, "pop/idle_sleeping/3"
	, "pop/idle_sleeping/4"
	]
);

Adding Animations

Adds animations to the animatedSprite.

_animatedSprite.addAnimation(animationName, frameSequence, animationSpeed);

• animationName - The name of the animation. Avoid duplicates!
• frameSequence - An array containing the sequence of the animation in relation to the textureArray during initialization (Check example)
• animationSpeed - The delay before changing to the next frame of the animation

Example

_animatedSprite.addAnimation("idle_awake", [0, 1, 2, 3, 2, 1, 0, 0], 0.65);
_animatedSprite.addAnimation("idle_sleeping", [4, 5, 6, 7, 6, 5, 4, 4], 0.65);

Note: The frameSequence relates to the index of textureArray. e.g. 0 will use "pop/idle_awake/1, 1 will use "pop/idle_awake/2", 2 will use"pop/idle_awake/3" and so on

Looping Animations

Immediately plays the specified animation. Loops back to the beginning frame when it reaches the last frame.

_animatedSprite.loopAnimation(animationToLoop);

• animationToLoop - The name of the animation you want to loop

Example

_animatedSprite.loopAnimation("idle_awake");

Playing Animations

Immediately plays the specified animation. Goes back to the previous looping animation when it reaches the last frame.

_animatedSprite.playAnimation(animationToPlay);

• animationToPlay - The name of the animation you want to play

Example

_animatedSprite.playAnimation(animationToPlay);

The “forward” loop animation is played as soon as the “backward” animation finishes playing.

Note: You should have a loop animation looping first before calling a playAnimation. Otherwise, an error will be thrown.
