Methods

<static> generateFrameNames(prefix, min, max, suffix, zeroPad)

Really handy function for when you are creating arrays of animation data but it's using frame names and not numbers. For example imagine you've got 30 frames named: 'explosion0001-large' to 'explosion_0030-large' You could use this function to generate those by doing: Phaser.Animation.generateFrameNames('explosion', 1, 30, '-large', 4);

Parameters:

Name	Type	Argument	Default	Description
`prefix`	string			The start of the filename. If the filename was 'explosion0001-large' the prefix would be 'explosion'.
`min`	number			The number to start sequentially counting from. If your frames are named 'explosion_0001' to 'explosion_0034' the min is 1.
`max`	number			The number to count up to. If your frames are named 'explosion_0001' to 'explosion_0034' the max is 34.
`suffix`	string	<optional>	''	The end of the filename. If the filename was 'explosion_0001-large' the prefix would be '-large'.
`zeroPad`	number	<optional>	0	The number of zeroes to pad the min and max values with. If your frames are named 'explosion_0001' to 'explosion_0034' then the zeroPad is 4.

destroy()

Cleans up this animation ready for deletion. Nulls all values and references.

onComplete()

Called internally when the animation finishes playback. Sets the isPlaying and isFinished states and dispatches the onAnimationComplete event if it exists on the parent.

animation/Animation.js, line 285

play(frameRate, loop) → {Phaser.Animation}

Plays this animation.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Argument	Default	Description
`frameRate`	number	<optional>	null	The framerate to play the animation at. The speed is given in frames per second. If not provided the previously set frameRate of the Animation is used.
`loop`	boolean	<optional>	null	Should the animation be looped after playback. If not provided the previously set loop value of the Animation is used.

animation/Animation.js, line 117

Returns:

A reference to this Animation instance.

Type: Phaser.Animation

restart()

Sets this animation back to the first frame and restarts the animation.

Source:

stop(resetFrame)

Stops playback of this animation and set it to a finished state. If a resetFrame is provided it will stop playback and set frame to the first in the animation.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Argument	Default	Description
`resetFrame`	boolean	<optional>	false	If true after the animation stops the currentFrame value will be set to the first frame in this animation.
