sprite animation skipping frames

Audio and Graphics

Hello guys and girls, 

I have a strange error. I am creating a sprite animation from a sprite-sheet with 6 frames. Here’s the code 

[lua]     local options =

    {

        – The params below are required

        width = 235,

        height = 386,

        numFrames = 6,

        – The params below are optional; used for dynamic resolution support

        sheetContentWidth = 1410,  – width of original 1x size of entire sheet

        sheetContentHeight = 386  – height of original 1x size of entire sheet

    }

sheet1 = graphics.newImageSheet(“Pictures/Balcony/plantSprite.png”, options)

local sequenceData = {
name=“grow”,
frames = {6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1},
time = 3000, – Optional. In ms. If not supplied, then sprite is frame-based.
loopCount = 1, – Optional. Default is 0 (loop indefinitely)
loopDirection = “forward” – Optional. Values include: “forward”,“bounce”
}

character = display.newSprite(sheet1, sequenceData)
[/lua]

Now, when I play the sequence it’s skipping 2 frames 2:nd and 5:th, I think. But if I change the code to 

[lua]

local sequenceData = {
name=“grow”,
frames = {6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0},
time = 3000, – Optional. In ms. If not supplied, then sprite is frame-based.
loopCount = 1, – Optional. Default is 0 (loop indefinitely)
loopDirection = “forward” – Optional. Values include: “forward”,“bounce”
}
[/lua]

then it works but I receive a warning: “WARNING: Sequence (grow) has an invalid index (0) that falls outside the range of valid image sheet frame indices: 1 <= index <= 6.” 

Any idea what I am doing wrong? 

BTW, I am on OS X 10.8.4 and Corona Version 2013.1154 (2013.6.29).

Thanks in advance

Hi Yogamatta,

Do you have build #1137 installed to test this on, or perhaps #1076? The code looks fine, so this might be a regression bug. If you can test it with a slightly earlier build, that may help determine if it is, or isn’t.

Thanks,

I was running 1154. I’ve downloaded 1027 and gave it a try. Unfortunately same result. 

I’ve solved it now by adding one frame as shown below. It works fine now. 

  1. frames = {6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 1}
