AnimatedSprite NOT resuming but restarting instead?!

[JaySDC]

Ok this next one is driving me crazy : )

I have an AnimatedSprite and a boolean variable.
The animated sprite contains 16 frames total.
If the boolean is true, I want the animation to stop on the very first frame (when currentFrame == 0).
If the boolean is false, I want the animation to stop on the 8th frame (when currentFrame ==8).

Two keyboard keys control the animation:
Space changes the boolean from true to false and from false to true.
Del resume the AnimatedSprite.
The animation is in a "running" state by default.

I never stop the animation. I only ever use "pause();".
But somehow the animation restart from the BEGINNING in certain instances.

Behavior observed:
App start. Boolean is set to true -> Animation is stopped (I guess "paused") on Frame == 0. -> OK everything is fine so far.
Press SPACE -> Boolean changes from true to false (it's logged, so I know it actually happens) -> Press Del -> Animation resume and STOPS at frame 8 -> OK everything is fine so far.
Press SPACE -> Boolean changes from false to true (it's logged, so I know it actually happens) -> Press Del -> The Animation DOES NOT resume. It RESTARTS from frame 0 and STOPS at frame 0 -> What the heck is happening?!? Why does it not resume from where it last paused ?!

I also tried:
App start. Boolean = true.
Press space TWICE. Press del. -> The animation cycles around as it should

And also:
App start. Boolean = true.
Press space. Press del. -> The animation stops at frame 8 as it should
Press space TWICE. Press Del -> Animation RESTARTS : (



What am I doing wrong?
What don't I understand?
Ps: in my previous code I also logged each frame we "passed on" and when the animation restarted instead of resuming, I could see that the frame 9th to 15th were NEVER "browsed".

Ok this is f***** up!

If frameSync = true, then the very same code works as intended.

Which is a freaking shame because that means that I can't choose the speed at which the animation is ran...


Any idea how to achieve that ?
