Hi,

I have some identic sprite objects. I want to set them random frames. If I use setFrame method I get this error: “attempt to call method ‘setFrame’ (a nil value)”
I found if sprite object created as display.newSprite, this method works fine. But if sprite created as sprite.newSprite not works.
How I can set sprites frame?

It sounds like you may be mixing the new Sprite API and the old Sprite API. If you use sprite.newSprite you should be able to set it using sprite.currentFrame = 1 (or the like) [import]uid: 52491 topic_id: 31300 reply_id: 125225[/import]
