Sprite node that contains multiple textures as frames to play for animation.
[AnimatedSprite2D] is similar to the [Sprite2D] node, except it carries multiple textures as animation frames. Animations are created using a [SpriteFrames] resource, which allows you to import image files (or a folder containing said files) to provide the animation frames for the sprite. The [SpriteFrames] resource can be configured in the editor via the SpriteFrames bottom panel.
After setting up [member frames], [method play] may be called. It's also possible to select an [member animation] and toggle [member playing], even within the editor.
To pause the current animation, call [method stop] or set [member playing] to [code]false[/code]. Alternatively, setting [member speed_scale] to [code]0[/code] also preserves the current frame's elapsed time.
[b]Note:[/b] You can associate a set of normal or specular maps by creating additional [SpriteFrames] resources with a [code]_normal[/code] or [code]_specular[/code] suffix. For example, having 3 [SpriteFrames] resources [code]run[/code], [code]run_normal[/code], and [code]run_specular[/code] will make it so the [code]run[/code] animation uses normal and specular maps.

Plays the animation named [param anim]. If no [param anim] is provided, the current animation is played. If [param backwards] is [code]true[/code], the animation is played in reverse.
Stops the current [member animation] at the current [member frame].
[b]Note:[/b] This method resets the current frame's elapsed time. If this behavior is undesired, consider setting [member speed_scale] to [code]0[/code], instead.
The current animation from the [member frames] resource. If this value changes, the [code]frame[/code] counter is reset.
If [code]true[/code], texture will be centered.
If [code]true[/code], texture is flipped horizontally.
If [code]true[/code], texture is flipped vertically.
The displayed animation frame's index.
The [SpriteFrames] resource containing the animation(s). Allows you the option to load, edit, clear, make unique and save the states of the [SpriteFrames] resource.
The texture's drawing offset.
If [code]true[/code], the [member animation] is currently playing. Setting this property to [code]false[/code] is the equivalent of calling [method stop].
The animation speed is multiplied by this value. If set to a negative value, the animation is played in reverse. If set to [code]0[/code], the animation is paused, preserving the current frame's elapsed time.
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.
Emitted when [member frame] changed.
