View source for Animations With Movieclip

'''Note:''' Currently there’s no way to set the animation speed, however you can prepare different animations for different speeds like:

<source lang="lua">
local eliAnim = MovieClip.new{
{1, 7, self.anim[1]},
{8, 15, self.anim[2]},
{16, 18, self.anim[1]},
{19, 21, self.anim[2]},
}
eliAnim:setGotoAction(15, 1)        --> frames 1-15: slow animation
eliAnim:setGotoAction(21, 16)   --> frames 16-21: fast animation
eliAnim:gotoAndPlay(1) --> play slow animation
eliAnim:gotoAndPlay(16) --> play fast animation
</syntaxhighlight> 

This way, you can position your MovieClip wherever you want (e.g running player, walking player, flying helicopter, etc).
