    Animate sprite? Best way / practice ?

    Hello,
    I am here through to question a thing: can anyone tell what is the best practice or way to animate sprite? When I want to animate on colision, or whatever I need to do??
    I've tried some ways to do it like using movie clip, or manipulating on frame changes (add/remove child) but I couldn't get a best way to do this... If I use movie clip, it doesn't load all my sprites and later starts to get hardly lagged, I just cannot use movie clip... any idea?

      if you want to do a frame-by-frame animation then movieclip should be the thing to do though, try it harder. perhaps it lags for you because you make a new movieclip for each playing of the animation? for one sprite make only one movieclip which you can replay whenever needed.
      in any case a movieclip example in gideros studio would be nice.

      I am trying this way:
      if self.shipDamaged then
		self.mc:gotoAndPlay(1)
		self:addChild(self.mc)
		self.shipDamaged = false
	else
      It at least didn't lag any more, but the matter is that the sprite doesn't changes... It remain one alone throughout the animation...
      self.mc = MovieClip.new {
		{1, 1, self.animDamage[1]},
		{2, 2, self.animDamage[2]},
		{3, 3, self.animDamage[3]},
		{4, 4, self.animDamage[4]},
	}

      your code looks fine for me at first sight. did you double check that in yout self.animDamage table you have different images?

      @keszegh of course!, actually I have a texture packer set... but It just loads the first frame... I thought It was due to the movie clip is not inside an event but I've placed it inside and outside but nothing! all of them has the same result

      Hello! I got it to working!
      @keszegh , as I've set
      self.mc:gotoAndPlay(1)
      , as the
      (1)
      was set, initially I thought that it'd run all my frames, but as I didn't set a "goto action" like looping, it runs only the designated frame, :)
