**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
-----------

**AnimatedSprite2D** is similar to the :ref:`Sprite2D<class_Sprite2D>` 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.

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

----

.. _class_AnimatedSprite2D_property_frame:

.. rst-class:: classref-property

:ref:`int<class_int>` **frame** = ``0``

.. rst-class:: classref-property-setget

- void **set_frame** **(** :ref:`int<class_int>` value **)**
- :ref:`int<class_int>` **get_frame** **(** **)**

The displayed animation frame's index. Setting this property also resets :ref:`frame_progress<class_AnimatedSprite2D_property_frame_progress>`. If this is not desired, use :ref:`set_frame_and_progress<class_AnimatedSprite2D_method_set_frame_and_progress>`.

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

.. rst-class:: classref-property

:ref:`float<class_float>` **frame_progress** = ``0.0``

:ref:`float<class_float>` **speed_scale** = ``1.0``

- void **set_speed_scale** **(** :ref:`float<class_float>` value **)**
- :ref:`float<class_float>` **get_speed_scale** **(** **)**

The speed scaling ratio. For example, if this value is ``1``, then the animation plays at normal speed. If it's ``0.5``, then it plays at half speed. If it's ``2``, then it plays at double speed.

If set to a negative value, the animation is played in reverse. If set to ``0``, the animation will not advance.

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

----

.. _class_AnimatedSprite2D_property_sprite_frames:

.. rst-class:: classref-property

:ref:`SpriteFrames<class_SpriteFrames>` **sprite_frames**

Method Descriptions
-------------------

.. _class_AnimatedSprite2D_method_get_playing_speed:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

:ref:`float<class_float>` **get_playing_speed** **(** **)** |const|

Returns the actual playing speed of current animation or ``0`` if not playing. This speed is the :ref:`speed_scale<class_AnimatedSprite2D_property_speed_scale>` property multiplied by ``custom_speed`` argument specified when calling the :ref:`play<class_AnimatedSprite2D_method_play>` method.

Returns a negative value if the current animation is playing backwards.

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

----

.. _class_AnimatedSprite2D_method_is_playing:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

:ref:`bool<class_bool>` **is_playing** **(** **)** |const|

Returns ``true`` if an animation is currently playing (even if :ref:`speed_scale<class_AnimatedSprite2D_property_speed_scale>` and/or ``custom_speed`` are ``0``).

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

----

.. _class_AnimatedSprite2D_method_pause:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

void **pause** **(** **)**

Pauses the currently playing animation. The :ref:`frame<class_AnimatedSprite2D_property_frame>` and :ref:`frame_progress<class_AnimatedSprite2D_property_frame_progress>` will be kept and calling :ref:`play<class_AnimatedSprite2D_method_play>` or :ref:`play_backwards<class_AnimatedSprite2D_method_play_backwards>` without arguments will resume the animation from the current playback position.

See also :ref:`stop<class_AnimatedSprite2D_method_stop>`.

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

----

.. _class_AnimatedSprite2D_method_play:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

void **play** **(** :ref:`StringName<class_StringName>` name=&"", :ref:`float<class_float>` custom_speed=1.0, :ref:`bool<class_bool>` from_end=false **)**

Plays the animation with key ``name``. If ``custom_speed`` is negative and ``from_end`` is ``true``, the animation will play backwards (which is equivalent to calling :ref:`play_backwards<class_AnimatedSprite2D_method_play_backwards>`).

If this method is called with that same animation ``name``, or with no ``name`` parameter, the assigned animation will resume playing if it was paused.

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

----

.. _class_AnimatedSprite2D_method_play_backwards:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

void **play_backwards** **(** :ref:`StringName<class_StringName>` name=&"" **)**

Plays the animation with key ``name`` in reverse.

This method is a shorthand for :ref:`play<class_AnimatedSprite2D_method_play>` with ``custom_speed = -1.0`` and ``from_end = true``, so see its description for more information.

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

----

.. _class_AnimatedSprite2D_method_set_frame_and_progress:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

void **set_frame_and_progress** **(** :ref:`int<class_int>` frame, :ref:`float<class_float>` progress **)**

The setter of :ref:`frame<class_AnimatedSprite2D_property_frame>` resets the :ref:`frame_progress<class_AnimatedSprite2D_property_frame_progress>` to ``0.0`` implicitly, but this method avoids that.

This is useful when you want to carry over the current :ref:`frame_progress<class_AnimatedSprite2D_property_frame_progress>` to another :ref:`frame<class_AnimatedSprite2D_property_frame>`.

\ **Example:**\ 


.. tabs::

 .. code-tab:: gdscript

    # Change the animation with keeping the frame index and progress.
    var current_frame = animated_sprite.get_frame()
    var current_progress = animated_sprite.get_frame_progress()
    animated_sprite.play("walk_another_skin")
    animated_sprite.set_frame_and_progress(current_frame, current_progress)



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

----

.. _class_AnimatedSprite2D_method_stop:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

void **stop** **(** **)**

Stops the currently playing animation. The animation position is reset to ``0`` and the ``custom_speed`` is reset to ``1.0``. See also :ref:`pause<class_AnimatedSprite2D_method_pause>`.
