How do we destroy sprite animations

#1

What is the best way to destroy sprite animations?  Right now I have to estimate the time to finish then destroy.

function kill_animation()

   Sprite:removeSelf()

   Sprite=nil

end

Sprite:play

timer.performWithDelay( 1000, kill_animation, 1 )

Use a ‘sprite’ listener:

local myListener = function ( self, event ) if( event.phase == "ended" ) then self:removeEventListener( "sprite" ) display.remove( self ) end return true end local myAnim = display.newSprite( ... ) myAnim.sprite = myListener myAnim:addEventListener( "sprite" ) myAnim:play() myAnim = nil

Thank you for the edit I was confused at first.  I will try to implement this today thanks!
