[Laszlo-user] Help with multiframe resources and play()

[Roger Howard]

If I define a multiframe resource, what's the best way to animate it, 
with looping, to continuously play through each frame until told to 
stop. I hoped the simplest approach was correct, as I understood the 
docs, but it play() on a multiframe resource doesn't seem to do anything 
more than advance one frame. Sample below:

<canvas width="640" height="480">
    <resource name="spinframes">
       <frame src="640/001.jpg" />
       <frame src="640/002.jpg" />
       <frame src="640/003.jpg" />
       <frame src="640/004.jpg" />
       <frame src="640/005.jpg" />
       <frame src="640/006.jpg" />
   </resource>
    <view resource="spinframes" id="spinview" visible="true" play="true">
    </view>
    <button isdefault="true" text="Play:" onclick="spinview.play()"/>
</canvas>


The way I read the docs I'd expect spinview.play() to animate, playing 
each frame starting with 001.jpg. Instead all that happens when I 
spinview.play() is it advances a single frame.

Any recommendations/pointers on how to approach this in OL?

Best,
