Hey, thanks for the reply. I guess I should have explained more clearly. This is a "lighter" type animation, which responds to accelerometer input. The flame flickers (plays from a start frame on a short loop) and when you tilt the phone, the start frame is "swept" through an animation of the flame bending from one side to another.
Because of this, I'm not sure I could really "stream" anything since I might need any one frame of the animation at any point. It just occurred to me that maybe I could store only half the frames and flip them in software (currently the "flip" is just rendered into the animation). This is why I'm just using a big image sequence (about 150 frames) as drawables. Any advice?
