One MovieClip for different animations

[brdmg]

Is there any way for using one MovieClip object for few animations.

If I have function which creates frames named "createFrames()", in first step I would do var animation = new PIXI.extras.MovieClip(createFrames());

So if somewhere in code I need animation with different frames, can I do something like animation = createFrames(); 

Just create new frames and add it to movieclip object which was created before. I tried with animation._textures = createFrames() , but it's not working.

Why this question. Well I thought maybe it'll be better for performance if I avoid creating new MovieClip everytime I need new animation, and it's very often, every few seconds.

You have to set "textures" and not "_textures".

MovieClip is light object, same degree as your array of frames. You can safely re-create it every few seconds. The only heavy things there are base textures.

Thank you for fast reply. I'll try with creating all base textures after loading assets.
