Question

I have 8 .pngs that when i use them fast in sequence its looks like a nice animation of a hand opening and closing.

The way I could do this is to create a UIImageView and then use an NSTimer to call a function every 200 milliseconds to change the image shown by the UIImageView to the next image in the sequence.

Is there a better way of doing this that I don’t know of on the iphone?

Many Thanks

If your images are not too big:

imgView.animationImages = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:
                           [UIImage imageNamed:@"img1.png"],
                           [UIImage imageNamed:@"img2.png"],
                           ...
                           [UIImage imageNamed:@"img7.png"],
                           [UIImage imageNamed:@"img8.png"],
                           nil];
imgView.animationDuration = /* anim duration in seconds */;
