This is a shot in the dark since I don't know exactly your goals, but could you simply have a Quicktime movie with all the images and control it to jump to different frames? Or play a section at a certain speed?

Trevor's external would allow you to replace the background image at will (by copying an image and pasting it into the movie as a new track, then setting it to the background).

I may have a need soon to try my hand at putting together some mult- image sprite animations like the sort of thing we commonly see done in Director.

But since Director's engine is well optimized for that sort of thing and Rev isn't, I'm not sure Rev is up to the task.

For example, one of these "sprites" is a 900-frame animation of a walking figure that needs to be anti-aliased against an image background. The figure itself is about 200px by 200px.

That's a lot of images, and I can't imagine that swapping those out of a button icon while also moving the button will be all that smooth.

Or can it be?

And what if I need to have two or three of those running at once?

Should I give it up, or have any of you had success doing this sort of thing in Rev?
