Hello,
It just occurred to me that I probably need my CAKeyframeAnimation
declaration to be an array with a capacity to support the maximum
number of animations I might have, and then use an available
CAKeyframeAnimation to use for each occurrence of the animation. Going
to test my theory out now...

Greetings,
My flipbook animation is now working - thanks everyone!
I was under the impression that each CoreAnimation operated as an
independent thread. However, I created a function that sets the
"forKey" property to a unique indentifier each time it is called,
and each time it is called it interrupts the current animation and
creates a new animation.
I need to be able to play several of the same animations at
different locations simultaneously. I can only get it to play in one
location at a time.
Can someone please enlighten me how I might accomplish this? Does
each animation need its own layer or something? I would hate to have
to create a separate function for each possible animation (I have
several types of animations and several possible locations).
I am calling my function with:
// X & Y is set to a unique value each time the function is called
int X;
int Y;
[self flipImages:CGPointMake(X,Y)];
The function is:
//Globals
//array populated with UIImages at init
NSMutableArray *images;
CALayer *effectsLayer;
- (void)flipImages:(CGPoint)p {
int i;
CGImageRef im;
UIImage *thisImg;
images = [NSMutableArray array];
for(i = 0;i<[pieces count];i++)
{
thisImg = [pieces objectAtIndex: i];
im = thisImg.CGImage;
[images addObject:(id)im];
}
CAKeyframeAnimation *anim;
NSString *animKey = [NSString stringWithFormat: @"flipper%i.%i",
(int)p.x, (int)p.y];
[CATransaction begin];
anim = [CAKeyframeAnimation animation];
anim.keyPath = @"contents";
anim.duration = 1.0;
anim.values = images;
anim.calculationMode = kCAAnimationDiscrete;
anim.repeatCount = HUGE_VAL;
[effectsLayer setFrame:CGRectMake(p.x,p.y,200.0,180.0)];
[effectsLayer addAnimation:anim forKey:animKey];
[CATransaction commit];
}
Not sure if I should be using CATransaction begin/commit with this
type of animation, but it was just something I thought could do the
trick.
Thank you,
