Is there frames Inbetweening for sprites/images

[bluedot]

Hi,

 

Does Phaser have this feature ? I can see how it does movement but how about inbetween frames ? e.g. I've got an animation that has 6 frames but I want to make it smoother.

 

Also, how do I insert new frames from png files into a sprite that's already been created ? I can't work it out from the docs and there doesn't seem to be an example.

 

Thanks.

No, Phaser does not support this Flash-style shape tweening, primarily because it deals with pixels rather than vectors.

Not sure what you mean here exactly - if you want to add to an animation, I believe you just re-declare the animation with the new frames. I don't believe however you can add frames from more than one sprite sheet/atlas into a single animation at this time.

How about creating animation from multiple png files ? Is that possible ?

Not currently, animations are handled internally by just moving a single image around behind a 'frame' which acts a little bit like a window onto the texture. Adding more than one source image is impossible in this situation, and you'd have to instead rely on rather complex animation complete events etc.
