How to images Sprites (without actual sheets)

Games
#1

Hello everyone!!

Quick question,

I have 5 images (separate not sheets), and they correspond to form an animation of a rabbit eating a carrot, does anyone know how I can transition these every .5 seconds(ish)?

You can use movie clip.newAnim() to create an animated sprite from a table of images

local myAnim = movieclip.newAnim({ “img1.png”, “img2.png”, “img3.png”, “img4.png” })
myAnim:play()
Check out the details in the API

You also need to copy movieclip.lua into your projects directory.

You can acquire the movieclip.lua file via the sample code shipped with the corona sdk under the graphics samples section :slight_smile: [import]uid: 84637 topic_id: 16432 reply_id: 61557[/import]
