Animation and action delays

[mk12001]

Hi guys, I'm trying to make my game in a way that if I press on  space (my shoot button), I will play an animation (sprite sheet) and when it's done animating once, it stops the animation, and then after a time delay, be able to release the bullet.

 

Right now, I'm using object.play('animation'), and my game really needs fixing (eg. the animation only plays when I hold on space instead of simply pressing space, and the bullet is released immediately.

When you call "sprite.play" it hands you back an animation object. You can assign a function to the onComplete signal of that animation object and do something once it finishes.
