Description

Creates a new MovieClip object. After constructing the MovieClip object, it starts playing. You don't need to call MovieClip:play.

MovieClip.new({timeline},holdWhilePlaying)

Parameters

timeline: (table) array of timeline elements
holdWhilePlaying: (bool) keep a reference to itself while it is playing optional, default=false

Example

Frame animations 1

--load frames
local frames = {}
local bmp
for i = 1, 6 do
	bmp = Bitmap.new(Texture.new("animation/ball"..i..".png", true))
	bmp:setAnchorPoint(0.5, 0.5)
	frames[#frames+1] = bmp
end

--arrange frames
local ballAnimation = MovieClip.new{
	{1, 5, frames[1]},
	{6, 10, frames[2]},
	{11, 15, frames[3]},
	{16, 20, frames[4]},
	{21, 25, frames[5]},
	{26, 30, frames[4]},
	{31, 35, frames[6]},
	{36, 40, frames[4]},
	{41, 45, frames[5]},
	{46, 50, frames[4]},
	{51, 55, frames[6]},
	{56, 60, frames[4]},
	{61, 65, frames[5]},
	{66, 70, frames[4]},
	{71, 75, frames[6]},
	{76, 80, frames[3]},
	{81, 85, frames[2]},
	{86, 150, frames[1]}
}

--loop animation
ballAnimation:setGotoAction(150, 1)

--start playing
ballAnimation:gotoAndPlay(1)

ballAnimation:setPosition(160, 240)
stage:addChild(ballAnimation)

Frame animations V2, animating with 2 movieclips

-- first we create the anims for the player

	elseif iter < 100 then

	elseif iter < 1000 then

--print(#anims) --> 20

-- add anim frames
local mc_jones = MovieClip.new{

	anims[17],
	anims[18],
	anims[19],
	anims[20],
}

mc_jones:setGotoAction(14*timing, 9*timing)
mc_jones:gotoAndPlay(9*timing)

-- key down event
stage:addEventListener(Event.KEY_DOWN, function(e)
	if e.keyCode == KeyCode.F then -- jones idle

		mc_jones:setGotoAction(20*timing, 15*timing)
		mc_jones:gotoAndPlay(15*timing)

end)

-- then we move the player using another movieclip
local timing2 = 500
local mc2 = MovieClip.new{

}

mc2:setGotoAction(timing2, 1)
