AnimatedSprite
==============

**Inherits:** :ref:`Node2D<class_Node2D>` **<** :ref:`CanvasItem<class_CanvasItem>` **<** :ref:`Node<class_Node>` **<** :ref:`Object<class_Object>`

Sprite node that contains multiple textures as frames to play for animation.

.. rst-class:: classref-introduction-group

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

**AnimatedSprite** is similar to the :ref:`Sprite<class_Sprite>` node, except it carries multiple textures as animation frames. Animations are created using a :ref:`SpriteFrames<class_SpriteFrames>` resource, which allows you to import image files (or a folder containing said files) to provide the animation frames for the sprite. The :ref:`SpriteFrames<class_SpriteFrames>` resource can be configured in the editor via the SpriteFrames bottom panel.

\ **Note:** You can associate a set of normal maps by creating additional animations with a ``_normal`` suffix. For example, having 2 animations ``run`` and ``run_normal`` will make it so the ``run`` animation uses the normal map.

Signals
-------

.. _class_AnimatedSprite_signal_animation_finished:

.. rst-class:: classref-signal

**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.

.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator

----

.. _class_AnimatedSprite_signal_frame_changed:

.. rst-class:: classref-signal

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

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