[Addition] onFrame action for animations

[elgansayer]

As the title says;

I think it would be a great asset to have an onFrame callback for animations.

i.e to update the position of a child sprite , play a throwing bomb animation, and move the bomb along the hand.

Try this:

this.sprite.update = function() {
if (this.animations.currentAnim.frame !== this.oldFrame) {
this.oldFrame = this.animations.currentAnim.frame;
// do your stuff here
}
};

that could work but its overhead for my update phase and extra code. Plus i have like 50 animations, I also use Update() already.
Having a check in update just for 4 of those animations is crazy annoying.

it is ugly when i think an onFrame would be a good addition.

thanx for the suggestion though and a good temp work around.

You can always create a custom Sprite class and override its update method with this code in the meantime
