CALL_CREATEANIMATEDSPRITE

Syntax

CALL_CREATEANIMATEDSPRITE(sprite-number,AnimNum,Delay)

Description

After creating the animation sequence with CALL_CREATEANIMATION, and activating the sprite(s) with CALL_SPRITE, this function assigns the animation number AnimNum to the sprite sprite-number, sets the beginning and ending frame properties as well as the frame speed and timer, and kicks off the animation sequence in a continuous loop until the animation is paused, stopped, or deleted or the sprite is deleted. The frame animation speed is controlled by the Delay parameter, and it is expressed in milliseconds. The TI_SYNC function automatically takes care of animating any active sprites during your program loop.
