In Cocos2d v0.99 there’s a class named CCSpriteFrameCache. I can load all the sprite frames

[[CCSpriteFrameCache sharedSpriteFrameCache] addSpriteFramesWithFile:@"images.plist"];

and then I can use those loaded frames

CCSprite *sprite=[CCSprite spriteWithSpriteFrameName:@"img01.png"];

Now my question is: Do we create a big sprite sheet that will hold every single image that we’re going to use for animations? I mean, I thought I’d have several sprite sheets for different animation objects. If this question is answered NO,so that I load each sprite differently, then my second question is how do I refer to a frame in a specific sprite sheet?

    If possible, cram as much images into as few texture atlases as possible. The determining factor is quite often z ordering. If you have two atlases and two sprite batch nodes, then each sprite batch node can only render their sprites on their z order, while the sprites in the other batch node are either always in front or behind.

    You do not need to know which texture atlas (sprite sheet) a sprite frame came from. Just reference it by name. If you need to know which texture the frame refers to, check the sprite frame’s texture property and compare it with the texture property of the sprite batch node.
