Stopping an animation on a particular frame

Games
#1

Hi!

I’m using an animation that is created with sprite.newSpriteSheetFromData(). I have a button to move the animation across the screen in the X axis. So far the only way I have found to stop the animation after ending the touch event is with spriteInstance:pause().

Is there a way to stop the animation on a particular frame? Right now the animation stops on whatever frame it happens to be on.

Thanks in advance for any input

You would use pause but then do;

[lua]sprite.currentFrame = 1[/lua]

With 1 being the frame you want to display.

I created a callback system by using an event listener, one of the phases passed by the “sprite” event tells you when you’ve reached a new frame.
