hi,
i'm just wondering about the "create animated sprite" command. i'm doing some tests at the moment and it appears that if i use "load image" with the texture flag set to 1. then "create animated sprite" using the same image filename. then set the image number of the sprite to the "load image" number i get a crisper image.
is this the way i should be going about getting the best quality sprite or is there another way?
is there a memory overhead when i "create animated sprite" and then throw away that image to use a previously loaded image?
is there some command that can set the texture flag for an animated sprite?
thanks in advance

Due to a bad bug in 'create animated sprite' introduced in last patch, then you need to reload image into same image number with the texture flag. See here for full details:

Before 5.8, 'create animated sprite' loaded everything pixel perfect, whatever size sprite you chose.

Now, however you will find a garbled blurry mess, unless you reload the image. At least there is a workaround until it's fixed hopefully in next patch

Boo!
