Set a Animation dynamically

zackorz

Hi,

i wrote a function that calculates a variable name like:
var x = 1;
var examplevar = "example" + x;

But if i make: "setAnimation( examplevar)", it doesnt fire. I think the problem is that my object is a string and he expects a "gamequery animation"

How can i make this work?

There are may ways to do this:

- use multi-animations: this as some constrains on the form of the animations, all have to be the same size and number of frame and be evenly distributed on your sprite sheet.

- use an array, for example :

var animations = []
animations[0] = example0; /* or create your animations there */; 
animations[1] = example1; /* or create your animations there */;
// ...
 
// now you can do this
$("#mySprite").setAnimation(animations[1]);
// where x is simply an integer

Would that do the trick ?
