So simple it makes perfect sense :lol:... So for each animation in a sequence I would just repeat above, right? And then on switch (change of animation) I just call chicken.play("chickenPop"); or chicken.play("chickenRun"); or chicken.play("chickenStop"); with no need for calling .stop()? Thanks for the response!

As to say I have a MovieClip class (chicken): <code>private var chickenPop:MovieClip = new MovieClip(FarmScene.textureAtlas.getTextures("chickenPop"), 30);</code> , so how do I transfer chicken to your class? chicken.addAnimation()? chicken.play()?

With some adaptations to my code, but works fine. I'm just wondering why my code was not working =/ Thank you osro Solved Jota on "Sprite swapping MovieClips inside isn't working" http://forum.starling-framework.org/topic/sprite-swapping-movieclips-inside-isnt-working#post-5472 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 00:54:38 +0000 Jota 5472@http://forum.starling-framework.org/ I'll try it.

And it just extends Starling sprite. <div class="bb_syntax"><div class="code"><pre class="as3" style="font-family:monospace;">private var _animations:Dictionary; private var _atlas:TextureAtlas; private var _currentAnimation:String;   public function Animation(atlas:TextureAtlas) { super(); _animations = new Dictionary(); _atlas = atlas; }   public function play(name:String):void { if (_currentAnimation == name) return;   if (!_animations[name]) throw new Error("No animation called " + name);   if (_currentAnimation) { removeChild(_animations[_currentAnimation]); Starling.juggler.remove(_animations[_currentAnimation]); }   addChild(_animations[name]); Starling.juggler.add(_animations[name]);   _currentAnimation = name; }   public function addAnimation(name:String, frameRate:Number = 0):void { var newMC:MovieClip = new MovieClip(_atlas.getTextures(name), frameRate); _animations[name] = newMC; }</pre></div></div> Jota on "Sprite swapping MovieClips inside isn't working" http://forum.starling-framework.org/topic/sprite-swapping-movieclips-inside-isnt-working#post-5470 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 00:44:08 +0000 Jota 5470@http://forum.starling-framework.org/ Actually, I only advance time from currentAnimation. Adding this class to the juggler and overriting the method advanceTime, it indirectly adds the animation to the juggler.

Mac Jota on "Sprite swapping MovieClips inside isn't working" http://forum.starling-framework.org/topic/sprite-swapping-movieclips-inside-isnt-working#post-5468 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 23:44:57 +0000 Jota 5468@http://forum.starling-framework.org/ I'm trying to do a class that holds a bunch of MovieClips inside. Than I call playAnimation("idle"), than it animate the idle animation. I haven't thought about a class to extends from, so I made this way: - I create all my MovieClips <div class="bb_syntax"><div class="code"><pre class="as3" style="font-family:monospace;">public static var appearing:MovieClip; public static var loop:MovieClip; public static var exploding:MovieClip;   public function drawAnimations():void { var texture:Texture = Assets.getTexture("SpriteSheet");   var xml:XML = XML(new SpriteSheetXML());   var textureAtlas:TextureAtlas = new TextureAtlas(texture, xml);   var frames:Vector.<Texture> = textureAtlas.getTextures("Appearing");   appearing = new MovieClip(frames, 24); appearing.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, gotoLoop);   frames = textureAtlas.getTextures("Loop");   loop = new MovieClip(frames, 24);   frames = textureAtlas.getTextures("Exploding");   exploding = new MovieClip(frames, 24); exploding.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, remove); }</pre></div></div> - Than I implement IAnimatable, create a variable named currentAnimation and override advanceTime method. <div class="bb_syntax"><div class="code"><pre class="as3" style="font-family:monospace;">private var _currentAnimation:MovieClip;   public function advanceTime(passedTime:Number):void { if(currentAnimation) currentAnimation.advanceTime(passedTime); }</pre></div></div> - After all that, I made a get/set function for currentAnimation. All I have to do then is to call playAnimation(name:String), which sets the new animation. <div class="bb_syntax"><div class="code"><pre class="as3" style="font-family:monospace;">public function get currentAnimation():MovieClip { return _currentAnimation; }   public function set currentAnimation(value:MovieClip):void { if(currentAnimation) removeChild(currentAnimation);   _currentAnimation = value;   if(currentAnimation == null) return;   addChild(currentAnimation);   currentAnimation.play(); }</pre></div></div> If I'm not doing anything wrong, it should be working. Im my case, occurs the following: - I play appering movieclip. It plays 'til the end, where an Event.COMPLETE is dispathing. - In the Event.COMPLETE method, I set the currentAnimation to loop. <div class="bb_syntax"><div class="code"><pre class="as3" style="font-family:monospace;">public function gotoLoop(event:Event):void { currentAnimation = loop; }</pre></div></div> Here starts my problem: the event is dispatched, it goes inside the function, set the animation but it don't play. It keeps displaying the last frame of "appearing" animation. In set method, it changed to the new animation. But if I trace the currentAnimation outside the set method, it still giving me "appearing" animation, as it haven't changed inside the function. Anyone knows where I'm mistaken? Another 'bug' is the exploding animation is loop = false. In its Event.COMPLETE method, I remove the currentAnimation but the last frame is still rendering. Is that normal? <div class="bb_syntax"><div class="code"><pre class="as3" style="font-family:monospace;">public function remove(event:Event):void { currentAnimation = null; }</pre></div></div> Thank to all.
