+-------------------------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

Signals
-------

.. _class_AnimatedSprite_signal_animation_finished:

- **animation_finished** **(** **)**

Emitted when the animation is finished (when it plays the last frame). If the animation is looping, this signal is emitted every time the last frame is drawn.

----

.. _class_AnimatedSprite_signal_frame_changed:

- **frame_changed** **(** **)**

Emitted when :ref:`frame<class_AnimatedSprite_property_frame>` changed.

Description
-----------

Animations are created using a :ref:`SpriteFrames<class_SpriteFrames>` resource, which can be configured in the editor via the SpriteFrames panel.

Property Descriptions
---------------------

.. _class_AnimatedSprite_property_animation:

- :ref:`String<class_String>` **animation**

+----------+----------------------+
| *Setter* | set_animation(value) |
+----------+----------------------+
| *Getter* | get_animation()      |
+----------+----------------------+

The current animation from the ``frames`` resource. If this value changes, the ``frame`` counter is reset.

----

.. _class_AnimatedSprite_property_centered:

- :ref:`bool<class_bool>` **centered**

+----------+---------------------+
| *Setter* | set_centered(value) |
+----------+---------------------+
| *Getter* | is_centered()       |
+----------+---------------------+

If ``true``, texture will be centered. Default value: ``true``.

----

.. _class_AnimatedSprite_property_flip_h:

- :ref:`bool<class_bool>` **flip_h**

+----------+-------------------+
| *Setter* | set_flip_h(value) |
+----------+-------------------+
| *Getter* | is_flipped_h()    |
+----------+-------------------+

If ``true``, texture is flipped horizontally. Default value: ``false``.

----

.. _class_AnimatedSprite_property_flip_v:

- :ref:`bool<class_bool>` **flip_v**

+----------+-------------------+
| *Setter* | set_flip_v(value) |
+----------+-------------------+
| *Getter* | is_flipped_v()    |
+----------+-------------------+

If ``true``, texture is flipped vertically. Default value: ``false``.

----

.. _class_AnimatedSprite_property_frame:

- :ref:`int<class_int>` **frame**

+----------+------------------+
| *Setter* | set_frame(value) |
+----------+------------------+
| *Getter* | get_frame()      |
+----------+------------------+

The displayed animation frame's index.

----

.. _class_AnimatedSprite_property_frames:

- :ref:`SpriteFrames<class_SpriteFrames>` **frames**

+----------+--------------------------+
| *Setter* | set_sprite_frames(value) |
+----------+--------------------------+
| *Getter* | get_sprite_frames()      |
+----------+--------------------------+

The :ref:`SpriteFrames<class_SpriteFrames>` resource containing the animation(s).

----

.. _class_AnimatedSprite_property_offset:

- :ref:`Vector2<class_Vector2>` **offset**

+----------+-------------------+
| *Setter* | set_offset(value) |
+----------+-------------------+
| *Getter* | get_offset()      |
+----------+-------------------+

The texture's drawing offset.

----

.. _class_AnimatedSprite_property_playing:

- :ref:`bool<class_bool>` **playing**

If ``true``, the :ref:`animation<class_AnimatedSprite_property_animation>` is currently playing.

----

.. _class_AnimatedSprite_property_speed_scale:

- :ref:`float<class_float>` **speed_scale**

+----------+------------------------+
| *Setter* | set_speed_scale(value) |
+----------+------------------------+
| *Getter* | get_speed_scale()      |
+----------+------------------------+

The animation speed is multiplied by this value.

Method Descriptions
-------------------

.. _class_AnimatedSprite_method_is_playing:

- :ref:`bool<class_bool>` **is_playing** **(** **)** const

Returns ``true`` if an animation if currently being played.

----

.. _class_AnimatedSprite_method_play:

- void **play** **(** :ref:`String<class_String>` anim="", :ref:`bool<class_bool>` backwards=false **)**

Play the animation set in parameter. If no parameter is provided, the current animation is played. Property ``backwards`` plays the animation in reverse if set to ``true``.

----

.. _class_AnimatedSprite_method_stop:

- void **stop** **(** **)**

Stop the current animation (does not reset the frame counter).
