What is the best way to create my own animated canvas item ?

[yellowmat]

ok, I tryed with the following code

void CMySprite::advance(int phase)
{
	if( frame() != 0 )
		setFrame(frame() - 1);
 
	QCanvasItem::advance(phase);
}

void CMySprite::advance(int phase)
{
	if( frame() != 0 )
		setFrame(frame() - 1);

	QCanvasItem::advance(phase);
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

... it works backward and stops when the first image is reached.

So I would like to reimplement setFrameAnimation() ... but how is it possible to modify the enum FrameAnimationType in order to add my own animation types ? Should I declare my own enum with cycle, oscillation and my own values or is there another way to do it ?

About advance(), I also tryed without calling the base class method and it works as well, is it really necessary to call the base class method ?

thanks in advance

Maybe you could use one of existing types? If not, you can always add a new method to the class.

The base class implementation moves the object. If your object is not to be moved automatically, you can skip the base call, but there is nothing wrong in making it, so I'd leave it as it is.
