revPlayAnimation animationName [, startFrame [, endFrame]]
# Params
- animationName : An expression that evaluates to the name of an animation on the current card. - startFrame : Either a frame number or the name of a key frame. If no startFrame is specified, the animation starts with the first frame. - endFrame : Either a frame number or the name of a key frame. If no endFrame is specified, the animation continues to the last frame.
# Examples
revPlayAnimation "FlyAroundTheScreen" -- play entire animation
revPlayAnimation myFirstAnim,20 -- start at frame 20
revPlayAnimation (the label of me),1,"End of Intro"
# Description
Use the revPlayAnimation command to display an animation that was created in the Animation Builder in older versions of LiveCode.
Animations were created using the Animation Builder, which was removed in LiveCode 2.5.
The animationName must be an animation that was created on the current card of the defaultStack.
To play a portion of the animation rather than the whole thing, specify a startFrame and endFrame specifying the part of the animation you want to play.
>*Important:* The revPlayAnimation command is part of the > Animation library. To ensure that the command works in a > standalone application, you must include this > LiveCode custom library when you create your > standalone application. In the Inclusions pane of the > Standalone Application Settings window, make sure the "Animation" > library checkbox is checked.
